Arrived safely in Wick yesterday, as did the gear, met up with Dad and managed to successfully re-assemble the bike, to much relief. No sign of threatened rain, but wind picking up ominously. As usual Dad claimed I had just missed (Scotland's elusive) the "t-shirt and shorts" weather.
Martin - survived lunch in Wick!
John O'Groats has had better days, they don't even leave the "Lands End x miles" sign up anymore as it keeps getting nicked. Met a couple of LE to JOG victorious cycle parties, who weren't groaning too much but no sign of anyone going the other way yet...
Day 1 22nd
Woke early - not sure whether due to eager anticipation, or the howling wind outside. Blowing straight up the road - and I'm going down it!
However, couldn't wait to get started and am able to update blog as I pass through Wick again on the way south. Wind is making it a bit of a battle - haven't had to do much peddling downhill before, but am in very good spirits!
