Welcome to the forum from Cumbria, and good luck with lejog.

I've stayed in the Seaview Hotel JOG before - it's OK.

Thanks for the Seaview Hotel recommendation/reassurance. We will stay in JOG at the end though I'm aware many leave ASAP.

John o Groats is hardly the most scenic place in Scotland - a bleak car park surrounded by gift shops. Why not finish your walk at nearby Duncansby Head - a much more fitting climax?

Well, when I say we’ll stay there it’ll just be overnight. And we will walk via Duncansby Head too. I don’t want to have to rush the last day to catch a bus as I think that could spoil things. And LEJOG has to finish at JOG doesn’t it??  :)
