John O Groats

After 16 hours travelling from Liverpool to Preston to Glasgow to Inverness and finally to Thurso. We were greeted by some little rays of sunshine instead of the forecasted rain! We found a very cheap Air BnB and crashed out for honestly, 10 hours straight! Who'd have known just riding the country via train would make you so tired? 

The next day we got up. Repacked our bikes and began our cycle to Dunnet Head and onto John O Groats. Dunnet Head is actually the most northern point of the GB mainland. So we can tick that off the list.

The ride was easy and both of us felt good. Even up to the hills! The wind was chilly so we cycled down the little hill with the wind in our hair to be greeted by a cafe at the bottom. Had to get a Scottish cuppa, it had have been rude not too. We spent the night is a breathtaking Air BnB, with the most incredible views of the North Sea and surrounding islands. Our hosts told us about recent sightings of Orcas in the waters only a few days before, I really hope we get to see some!! 

 todays the day, we start our cycle from John O Groats to Lands End.
