===End to end=== Land's End is either the start or finishing point of end to end journeys with [[John o' Groats]] in Scotland. One of the earliest was by Carlisle who left Land's End on 23 September 1879, went to John O'Groats House and arrived back at Land's End on 15 December; taking 72 days (exclusive of Sundays); covering {{convert|3899|mi|km}}. To prove his journey, he kept a log book which was stamped at any post office he passed.<ref>{{cite news|title=Carlisle Finishes His Pedestrian Tour|work=The Cornishman|issue=75|date=18 December 1879|page=5}}</ref> An early end to end on bicycle was completed by Messrs Blackwell and Harman of [[Canonbury]] Bicycle Club. Starting at Land's End they covered {{convert|900|mile}} in thirteen days in July/August 1880.<ref>{{cite news|title=Penzance|work=The Cornishman|issue=108|date=5 August 1880|page=4}}</ref> Nearly two years later the Hon I Keith-Falconer travelled {{Convert|994|mile}} from Land's End, in twelve days, 23{{frac|1|4}} hours, on a bicycle.<ref>{{cite news |title=A Run (Sometimes A Struggle) On A Bicycle From Land's End To John O' Groats House |work=The Cornishman |issue=197 |date=29 June 1882 |volume=207 |page=6}}</ref>
