Day 16 Dornoch to Bettyhill

The day started off with a chill but with no wind as you can see how calm Loch Fleet slept early in the morning. I made my way North with a smile on my face, even when it rained a little!

I was flying through the day and even with several 13% inclines and declines my pace was unstoppable. It is amazing how a good sleep, shower, lots of food and a rest can have an impact on your performance.

 By mid day Tricia was waiting in Wick with lunch, coffee and biscuits, and a quick change of my front tyre and off we go.

Not long after that I arrived at John O' Groats for a pose shot, after battling a quick flash storm and then headed to the real most Northern point of mainland Britain, Dunned Head where we all posed for a picture.

So with today's 130 miles and a smile, the complete distance covered is 1517 miles in 16 days and counting!!
