We left the lovely home of our generous hosts Rob & Gwen this morning and travelled through the Black Isle to Cromerty where the Nigg ferry whisked us at a very leisurely pace across the bay to continue our journey north.
We stopped to chat to a group of men in full lycra also heading to John O'Groats with industrial strength support vehicle carrying all luggage and offering full catering services. It made us feel rather smug having carried our own gear most of the way!
The scenery is changing as we head further north appearing wilder and more remote and its not now really getting fully dark at night. Tonight we are staying in Lairg, pop 800 in an amazing converted croft, home of our hosts Greer & Moira, complete with peat fire, stunning views and a jacuzzi!
The end is finally coming into view and tomorrow will be our last long ride over 62 of some of the most remote roads in the British Isles. This has been an amazing trip but we are now feeling ready to finish when we reach the end of the road (literally) on Friday.
