<Li> from Inverness to John o' Groats, a long distance footpath along cliff tops and shorelines with access to accommodation, known as the John o' Groats Trail, is currently under development . Previously the route was mostly on roads with a few stretches of coast walking; to avoid road walking, some walkers head north west from the end of the West Highland Way at Fort William using parts of the Cape Wrath Trail, then head northeast through the Flow Country of Caithness . However, this route is through remote country and requires wild camping . </Li> <P> There are several annual mass participation cycle rides that go from Land's End to John o' Groats, the biggest of which is the Deloitte Ride Across Britain, run by Threshold Sports .
