Here are some of the sections of the walk in more detail:

Offas Dyke
This runs from Sedbury in the south
just over the Seven Bridge from Bristol
to Prestatyn in the north.


West Highland Way
From Milngavie to the north of Glasgow, Scotland
skirting Ben Nevis and Glen Coe to reach
Fort William on the edge of Loch Linnhe.

Fort William to John O'Groats is only a further
200 miles / 320 kms!
