Almost there, or so we thought! As hard as the rest of the trip was, today was the worst day by far. It started badly with the rain pelting down as we started on the A9 north. The joy of being on our "last" day evaporated immediately. We slogged for 80ish miles in torrential rain and a 20mph northernly wind and very low temperatures. The rain we could deal with. The wind was a different story. After previously peddling along at 12-15 mph on average we were down to 7-8 for most of the day. At one point we were due to turn right and get the wind behind us (at about mile 70) so I spent most of the day asking Gareth, "Are we there yet?"

After 70 miles we reached the northern coast of Scotland and it was quite an achievement to see it for the first time. Wind behind us we sailed into Thurso with the end within reach.....
