    Hullo. How are you? I hope you are having a good day. I’m Mark and I’m walking from Land’s End to John O’Groats… First port of call today was the supermarket in Wick. Tonight’s accommodation is remote and there are no shops or restaurants along the way, so I stocked up my rucksack with ingredients…

    Hullo. How are you? I hope you are having a good day. I’m Mark and I’m walking from Land’s End to John O’Groats… Today I walked from one beautiful little town to another. I had a late start to the day, knowing the walk was only nine miles, and spent time reading the John O’Groats…
