I am definitely not going to be an Adventure Rider this weekend.

most definitely - have nothing but respect for the unmotorised versions of distance travelling.

I love all these "adventure bike rider" topics but I think they sll boil down to the same thing. As I already said if you class yourself as an adventure bike rider then you are.
I'm doing Lands End to John O Groats on Saturday. It will take me two days to get to Lands End from Norfolk, then four days to get up to JOG then 2 days to get back to Norfolk. I'm going by myself(thanks brother in law for dropping out at the last minute but im not bitter...)and camping all the way with very little planning involved apart from a quick look on google maps. To me, this is by far the most adventurus thing I have ever done by myself, so yes in my eyes I tick the box for "Adventure Bike Rider"

You are 100% correct in my opinion. Any way, this subject is flogged to death. More importantly don't forget to go to Dunnet Head whilst you are at JoG. Much nicer and feels way more real. Riding in Scotland is fantastic. You'll have a ball. If you have the time and inclination it may be worth 'doing' as much up there as you can. It is luverly
