I have reached the Scottish Highlands!! Cycled over 600 miles and just 3 days to John O'Groats.
After 8 rain soaked days I have arrived in Crianlarich which lies just north of Loch Lomond.
The cycling has been tough in the rain although thankfully Mark (?) who sponsored me and has been praying to the God of the Tailwind found success. So far I have had little headwind to contend with and yesterday after 70 miles I was carried the last 20 uphill at 20 mph on the end of Hurricane Hannah (the locals say)
Actually it hasn't been raining every day. I think there was a day in Cornwall when I did't use my waterproof.
I have discovered afternoon tea Scottish style - a cup of tea and a piece of cake sets me up for the final uphills of the day along with a banana and other calorific enhancements. To this end I recommend firstly Carrick's of Cairphane.
Thanks for your interest and support and if you are new to the blog please reward my efforts by giving to one of my charities at the addresses below.
