1/2 Chester-Liverpool
X2/2X Liverpool-Preston
40/41 Preston-Lancaster
555 Lancaster-Keswick
X5 Keswick-Penrith
104 Penrith-Carlisle or
554 Keswick-Carlisle
79/379 Carlisle-Dumfries
X74 Dumfries-Glasgow
X24 Glasgow-Dunfermline
X54 Dunfermline-Dundee
X7 Dundee-Aberdeen
10/10A/10B or 35/35A Aberdeen-Inverness
X99 Inverness-Thurso
80 Thurso-John O' Groats
Or X99 Inverness-Wick
77 Wick-John O' Groats.

Using only the routes on that page , using the 554 to Carlisle from Keswick and going via Thurso to John O'Groats , I left Chester Bus Exchange at 0617 onboard a Stagecoach service 2 and finished the first day at Dumfries at 2245 , you start Day 2 at Dumfries at 0630 on service X74 to Glasgow and finish the day in Inverness at 2038 , you start Day 3 at 0940 enroute to Thurso and your connecting service to John O'Groats arriving at 1514.

When doing this you have to ensure you leave yourself some give and take for bus connections which are subject to road conditions .
