For no reason whatsoever I thought of this question.. I don't think I'll ever get it answered unless I am bored enough to do it myself.
How long would it take to use public buses (not National Express and such) to get from Lands End, to John O Groats? How much would this cost in bus fares?
Whilst there are no definitive answers, I suppose we can speculate. A route maybe starting at Penzance to Truro?
