Starting with the view over to Doonreay reactor on our left, we set off towards John O Groats. The wind at our backs again and over terrain that was not quite as hilly meant our average speed was noticeably higher today.
The scenery today has continued to be spectacular with wild moorlands, a view of deer again at the side of the road, and crossing the causeway at Tongue. We’ve finished up our ride at Reay, famous for the fast breeder reactor.
The wind and the hills conspired together to make today a tough ride. Even on the downhills, the head wind ensured that we had to keep pedalling.
The plan today is to cycle from Ullapool to Scourie (view route) about 43 miles.
