Would it still be considered an end-to-end run if I do the bit from Taunton to Lands End and back (350ish miles) one weekend before the rest of the trip to John O-Groats and back?
I'm being relatively serious here, as I'm planning to raise money on the trip and I'm claiming it's all one trip (but I'm running out of days holiday I can throw at it and knocking off the southwest bit a week earlier will save me a couple of days)
On a serious side from the UK IBA then no mate, you need to start at either lands end or JOG. You start with the witness form and your mileage, then a time and dated reciept from a petrol pump or a drink at the hotel. Then you head off on your merry way to the end. Have your end witness form signed and a reciept with time and date at the end in the hotel bar, I tend to get a coffee!
Here are the offical End 2 End rules of the IBA

For an E2E to be recognised by the IBA it must be within 24 hours
