15 July.....the day before.

Well, here we are.  John O Groats, and it doesn't seem like such a good idea any more!  Tomorrow I set off, 970 miles to go.  What could possibly go wrong? 

We had a good trip up, easy driving and stopping in Perth on the way.  Campsite was a bit of a dump but Hey Ho.  More blokes wearing Aston Villa shirts than wearing kilts.  Lots of empty bottles of cider in the recycling bin, you get the picture.

Great drive in the north of Scotland, though, along the coast with fantastic views.   Didn't take any pictures, but once I'm on the bike I'll post as many as I can. I don't know if anyone has been to John O Groats, but there's nothing here.  A campsite, some houses and a place to buy postcards and that's it.  

Heading west tomorrow, then a left turn, literally into the middle of nowhere.  We're staying at Altnaharra tomorrow night, look it up.  I'll let you know tomorrow if it's worth a special trip...

Off to bed now, I'll post again tomorrow.
