Conon Bridge to Durness via John O Groats & Dunnet  Head

What a great ride!  We made it up to John O Groats at the same time as a group of guys in fancy dress riding postie bikes :)  We then continued on to Dunnet Head which the most northerly point of mainland Britain.  The scenery on the way up and across to Durness was wonderful and we had to change GoPro and camera batteries several times.

  

The weather is over cast but thankfully the rain is holding off and we are still getting those patches of blue.  Our accommodation was in a great location and the staff were friendly and it  was cheap, well cheap for the region anyway.  That’s about the only good things I can say about it.  It was so small we couldn't both stand up in there at the same time.  To be fair though they did warn us when we booked it.  

We stopped for a nice cup of tea along the way.
