Seeing each sign come closer with an ever shorter mileage pushed us on till we crossed the entrance into John O Groats and to the world famous sign post. 1032 miles, 15 days, 1 puncture, 30 minutes of rain and far too many hours in the saddle. We had the photo taken to prove we made it before a quick drink and then heading off back into the mist that had engulfed the whole village.
The ride back was the best experience with no time constraint, no head wind, no worrying about the next day's ride or directions. Fantastic!
The stats for the day were 65 miles averaging 11.9mph and taking 5hrs 28mins. This does not including the ride back to Thurso!
