5.0 out of 5 stars Lands End to John O'Groats, 6 Jul 2003
By ted (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This book describes a suggested walking route from Lands End to John O'Groats broken down into 69 daily stages. It also gives a little of the history of Lands End to John O'Groats walking and some good planning advice.
Each days walk is given about one page describing the general route, a bit of the local history, a route diagram, tourist information and youth hostel phone numbers, and a few small back and white photographs.
It,s a very readable book, well laid out, and strikes a good balance between including information and not becoming too cumbersome to carry in your rucksac.
It is a book to be used along with an map and does not replace a map, the diagrams only indicating the general line of the route.
The described route avoids the more common coastal route through Devon and Cornwall instead following paths, tracks,country lanes and canals to Bath. Then instead of the Offas Dyke path, follows a more direct route via the Cotswold,Severn, and Worcestershire ways to Edale and the start of the Pennine way. After the Pennine Way the route skirts Edinburgh then uses the Forth and Clyde canal to reach the start of the West Highland Way followed by the Great Glen Way to Inverness, it finishes up the east coast to John O'Groats.
All the likely alternatives - north or south Cornwall coastal paths, Offas Dyke path, through the Grampians etc, are mentioned at the appropriate point in the text. The author is quite clear that his is a route chosen from many possible lines.
I would recommend that anyone thinking of doing this walk or sections of it reads this book. It is an excellent guide to planning a walk using all or part of the route described.

4.0 out of 5 stars End-to-End walk for non-campers, 6 Jan 2008
By Hockeylejog (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
I used this book when I walked from Land's End to John O'Groats - in fact it was the book that convinced me that I could do it and enjoy it. It has useful advice on preparation and route planning, although I did not follow McCloy's route closely.

To start with, he uses inland lanes and paths in Cornwall and Devon and thus misses the South West Coast Path - to my mind, some of the finest walking in England. To be fair, he mentions alternatives, including the north Cornwall coast path, and I followed McCloy's alternative route in the Scottish Highlands through the Cairngorms. But I found his suggested route odd in several places, where he took to minor roads where I found good off-road routes (e.g. Tomatin to Inverness, and in Caithness where there is good cliff walking). In other places, his route descriptions are not clear enough to follow on the ground - hardly surprising in a book describing a walk of over 1,000 miles in 144 pages.

Since I did the walk, the End to End Trail by Andy Robinson has been published. Robinson's book is more comprehensive, includes detailed sketch maps, and follows a route which is probably more interesting. But McCloy's book is still useful, particularly for those of us who do not want to camp. So I would get both books and pick the best ideas from each.
