Edging closer
When you are travelling home from anywhere south you know when you see the signs for Scotch Corner that you are almost home. This morning two things made me consider I was edging closer. Firstly the names of Wick and Thurso - Scotlands two most Northern towns -started appearing on roadsigns from Dingwall onwards. Secondly I am onto the last sheet of my photocopy maps! Today was a beautiful start with hills of course from Loch Ness past Urquhart Castle through Beauly past Muir of Ord and onwards to Dingwall from where it became a battle into Nw winds fairly strong at times. Ive crammed in 57 before a break at Bonar Bridge. I am going to take a full hour off the saddle find a cup of tea before doing the last 15 of todays miles to Lairg. Thanks to sister Diane, golfer John, Ron and Therese for messages of support. I appreciate them greatly out here.

Go Tony Go ah Scotland is for the brave which is what you are, you're closing in on a job well done in good time, hard going into that wind but not long before your off the bike, great for your to see the sign posts for the north coast it does boost morale. More cyclists have not done the end to end very soon you will have achieved the longest road journey in one direction in Great Britain. Happy days Martin
