Â* There should be two Â*sign posts erected.... one at John O Groats with a sign saying Â*... Lands End Â*603 miles... and a similar post and sign at Lands end.These should be erected at the furthest point North Â*and South. Â*Some rich sponcer like... Richard Branson could pay for two very elaborate and stylish posts to be named the Branson Posts.. and people could take up the Â*.".. John O Groats to Lands End Â*Branson Challenge..."



These elaborateÂ* postsÂ* would then give a focus for any brave, foolhardy folk who want to set up a record. Â* Â*For eg... the fastest cycle ride between the two posts. Â*... the cyclist starting off from J O Groats ........ the stopwatch starting as soon as his hand lets go of the post. Â* Â* Then as soon as his hand touches the post at Lands End we would get his time.



I have no doubt that someone sooner or later would do it in under 3 days... quite a fete. Â*But not only cylcling... running.. walking... maybe even rollerskating... Â*they would all become legitimate records to be Â*broken. Â*I wonder what the running record would be ? Â* sooner or Â*later Â* someone would come in at under 6 days Â*which would be quite a fete !



No doubt some eccentric would do it running with a stick and hoop... or on a childrens scooter Â*!... However they do it, imagine the feeling of achievement and satisfaction as the lands end BransonÂ* post comes into view and you reach out and touch it Â* ! Â* wow ! Â*I may even get into training myself !
