Wick -> John O’Groats

Woke up late and had a nice breakfast in the B+B.

Set off at around 9.30 into nice weather.

Me dipping my bike in the sea - and nearly getting wetCycled the fairly flat 20 miles to John O’Groats where we took loads of photos, and ate ice creams.

On the finish lineAfter filling in the visitiors book we wrote lots of post cards to people and ate lunch.

There were lots of people starting and finishing cycling and so we talked with quite a few of them.

Bought some items from the gift shop and waited for a while on a bench near the harbour.

Stacks at Duncansby headSet off at about 4.30 for Duncansby head, took a few photos then headed off-road to see the stacks.

John O'Groats SYHAContinued back to the youth hostel where we did some washing and had showers.

After making and eating dinner of golden rice, we played cludo and scrabble.

At 11 we were booted out of the common room by the less than friendly staff at SYHA John O’Groats, then shortly went to bed.
