Day Fourteen review

A nice easy 50 mile day although the weather was certainly not the best weather for it. It was cloudy, windy and at some times rainy but it didn't stop us escaping from it all and enjoying the rural lifestyle.

We managed a few stops in the wilderness of Scotland where we could cycle for 25 miles without seeing any buildings or locals. The road was generally quiet and the going was calm. It was probably on of the most relaxed days we have had so far!

Tongue is quite basic with two shops, two pubs and a petrol pump knocking out diesel at 139.9 a litre! All the shops close at 5pm and the walk from town to the youth hostel is over a mile!

Tomorrow is the final day with 64 miles to John Ogroats and then a nice 20 back to Thurso for the night before we travel the next day. Be reassured there will be a few pics as long as there is signal!

I would give the stats for today but the computer is on the bike in the shed!

At that price for diesel I am gland that I dont line there, but what more do you want than a couple of pubs and a couple of shops, Good luck for today I am sure it will be nice to see the end of it all.
