Day 14 - Dingwall to Dunbeath

Another 72 miles down, only 38 left to go!

Can't quite believe we're so close to the end now - it's almost as unbelievable as having finally experienced our first (almost) completely dry day since we arrived in Scotland!

It was another fast paced day today, with barely any stops and an impressive average speed. The scenery has changed again, and it was quite beautiful riding along the north east coastline - especially with the sun shining down upon us. We even had a little picnic by the beach for lunch!


We also saw our first road sign showing the distance to John o'Groats, which was met with much excitement, especially with each subsequent sign highlighting how close we were getting.



The day ended with us speeding down into Dunbeath, with only 38 miles left ahead of us to tackle tomorrow. It will be an early start, as some of us are being met at the end point by a man with a van at 1100 to transfer us down to Inverness.

So around 940 miles covered; over 96% of the ride complete. A good thought to end the day on :-)
