6 do Land's End to John O'Groats (and everything in between!)
So we haven't left our home for three whole years now, and as a family who like to travel, this has been pretty tough!
Our third 'holiday of a liftetime' to Florida in July 2020 was cancelled, and we were gutted. A lot of planning had gone into it. We were going to be spending 7 weeks in the USA between Philadelphia, New York, Miami and Orlando... it would have been epic! *sigh* We tried booking a trip to Tenerife in March 2021 as a consolation - also cancelled! Anyway, we are pretty much climbing the walls now, so have decided to do a trip we have been talking about for years; good old Land's End to John O'Groats. We are not big fans of holidaying in the UK - with 6 of us it always works out so expensive and we would rather put that money towards going abroad. However, with limited options, now seems the time to discover more of our country! The Family We are a family of 6. Myself and hubby, both love to travel but extremely unfit and feeling our age now! Hoping we can cope with all the driving between us Elliott - 18 years old, autism, quirk and pretty awesome lad! Obsessed with rabbits and will spend 99% of the time talking about them. Volunteers in a rabbit rescue We had to cut our last holiday to Florida short as he was in a very serious and bad place mentally ... but all good now! Sonny - 15 years old, also with autism. Loves photography and art. Happy to spend hours in a museum and must read every bit of information available. Great sense of humour! Amber - 14 years old, going through an 'alternative' phase! Very opinionated and will argue the sky is green until you agree with her. Adventurous and will give everything a go! Lila - 10 years old with autism and a hell of a lot of anxiety! Does taekwondo. Absolutely at her happiest when she is on holiday with the whole family Molly and Marnie - our two Maltese pups will be coming with us. It's made it a bit harder to plan as everything has to be dog friendly, but we couldnt do this adventure without them! The Trip We will be away from 16th July - 8th August, and the trip is as follows: Day 1: Bristol - Exeter - Haven Perran Sands Day 2: Land's End - Mousehole - Lizard Day 3: Eden Project - Hangloose (zip wire) Day 4: Tintagel Castle -Lynton - Taunton Day 5: Gloucester - Bourton on water - Stratford on Avon Day 6: Bakewell -Monsal Head - Glossop Day 7: Ladybower - Peveril Castle -Mam Tor Day 8: Blackpool (pleasure beach) - Haven Lakeland Day 9: Windermere (Steam train and boat) - Buttermere Day 10: Ullswater steamer and Aira Force Day 11: Birdowald Roman Fort- Gretna Green - Glasgow Day 12: Glasgow Catherdral and Necropolis Day 13: Loch Lomond, Fort William (Train ride to Mallaig) and wildlife cruise. Day 14: Nevis Gondola, Glen Finnan - Inverness Day 15: John O'Groats -Dunnets Head - Wick Day 16: Fort Augustus: Kayaking on Loch Ness Day 17: Edinburgh - Kelpies Day 18: Explore Edinburgh Day 19: Bamburg castle - Seahorses - Angel of the North - Durham Day 20: Durham - Beamish Museum Day 21: Whitby - York Day 22: Jorvik Viking museum - Shambles -Humber bridge Day 23: Nottingham - home Here it all is on a map!

What an amazing adventure that you have planned with your family and dogs. We recently went to Bamburgh with our DS and also our dog Milo, I love how dog friendly places are in the U.K. I’m looking forward to following along.

Wow that is a jam packed itinerary! We’ve done a lot of it in the last couple of years but over a few separate holidays. Some fantastic places if you get the weather which thankfully we mostly did. Enjoy!

That trip looks amazing and I'm hoping you manage a trip report
Do your girls still do gymnastics? Hope I've got the right family

That's good to hear! It's one of the more expensive museums on the list, but there does seem to be lots there. Plus dog friendly which is a real bonus.

Wow, you have a good memory! Yes that is right - my girls were gymnasts and had to train when we last went to Florida!
My eldest daughter continued with acro until she became too tall to be a top (the one that does the somersaults and handstands on people) She made southwest champion just before she stopped, which was lovely. My youngest decided to switch to dance which she preferred until the pandemic started and she could not deal with zoom lessons! Shes just started taekwondo, but much more laid back than gym/dance SO no having to fit training in our holiday this time - phew! I'm hoping i will be able to do trip reports every evening.
