Starting in Land s End and heading all the way up to John O Groats (via the Irish Sea), this tour of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland covering everything from the national sports of apologising, queueing and bog snorkelling to our national cuisine of chips, bread rolls and... chips in bread rolls. You ll take in sights such as Stonehenge (see the iconic prop from Spinal Tap in all its glory), Loch Ness (legend has it there is no monster) and Platform 9 (after a few hours waiting in a railway station, have your photo taken next to a brick wall) all whilst looking for somewhere decent to stop and eat your packed lunch.
