The YACF Baton, since November 2010, is attempting to travel from Lands End to John O Groats.
It started with me (I made the Baton and created the brass plaques) but it now belongs to YACF.
The Baton can only ever TRAVEL BY BIKE unless it needs to cross SEA to a foreign land. If it needs to cross by sea then it must be carried to the ferry/tunnel/plane by bike and leave the destination port/station/airport by bike.
Land-only car/train/bus journeys are not allowed.
Example: Cycling to Portsmouth ferry, crossing to Cherbourg, then cycling around France IS allowed.
Example: Transporting the baton to Edinburgh by train is NOT allowed.
