Lands End to John o’ Groats Day 5 – Gloucester to Telford – This day hurt!

LEJOG Day 5 – Gloucester to Telford | Tough Hills, Stunning Views & Midlands Miles!

Day 5 of our Land’s End to John O’Groats adventure takes us from Gloucester all the way to Telford, covering almost 83 miles through the heart of England. This stage throws everything at us: rolling Cotswold lanes, busy market towns, and the long push north into Shropshire. This was a tough day!

We pass through Cheltenham, Worcester, and Bridgnorth, following a mix of rural roads and steady climbs that test tired legs. The Severn Valley scenery is spectacular, but so are the hills—expect honest reflections on fatigue, determination, and what it really feels like to keep moving north on an endurance ride.

If you’ve been following since Day 1, you know this is where the journey starts to bite. But every mile brings us closer to Scotland, and reaching Telford feels like a major milestone!
