We supply blankets etc to prevent chafing between bikes; elastic securing links; chain and padlock.

END-TO-ENDERS
If you've just cycled from Land's End to JoG and don't have a support crew,
then Puffin Express can get you and your bike(s) back to Inverness. Leaving
John o'Groats about 1600-1700hrs, we have you back in Inverness by 2000hrs.
Fares: On many of our JoG trips in the summer we have people going
on to Orkney; consequently we sometimes have empty seats on the way back to
Inverness. In this case the fare for transport to Inverness with bike and
drop-off at a location within the city is £ 15. If we have no-one
going on to Orkney and the trip is sold out then the full fare of £ 28
applies. In any event, £ 15 secures your place and, if we've no-one going
on to Orkney and the trip is full, the balance of £ 13 can be paid at
the time.

(May-September) or Pentland Ferries (October-April) for the shortest crossing
to the archipelago.
The fare for this is normally the same as for our regular John o'Groats tour,
namely, £ 28.
