I am in the early stages of thinking about a J O'G to Land's End hike (or potentially in the opposite direction). I would ideally (Plan A) want to take the motorhome, park at a suitable campsite or spot, do the day's hike and then get a taxi back to the van. Multiply this by about 50 and the trip will hopefully be completed in relative comfort (though at some cost).
The alternative to using taxis would be (Plan B) to drive ahead with the van, offload and secure the scooter, then drive the van back to the starting point, then hiking to the scooter, riding the scooter back to the van... Again, multiply by 50 or so and the trip should be completed.
So here are the questions... Has anyone done this? Are there enough suitable camping spots en route for such a plan to work? Am I likely to find sufficient coverage from accommodating taxi drivers to enable Plan A for all most of the route? I would ideally like to not just walk along the roads but would prefer to follow some of the main hiking trails. However, if there is to be a trade off between using the van versus following the scenic route then I will almost certainly choose the option that entails using the van.
Any thoughts/insights/tales of innocence and experience would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Paul
