Berriedale Hill

Morning all, I won't bore you with a weather report, needless to say that the sunscreen is going on very soon.

I am just about to go up Berriedale Hill with its infamous hairpin bend. This is my last big climb of the walk... fairly flat all the way to the top from here.

A good day

I walked over 28 miles today at a good pace. I think that it was the inspiration of the scenery plus the fact that I am nearly there!

I have 2 days left to do about 50 miles. AND by my reckoning I have completed over 952 miles.... I should reach the 1000 mile mark.

Where am I

Perhaps the South of France, or maybe the Riviera... wrong!

It's the glorious coastline of Scotland.

Ewen, why did you ever leave? It is absolutely stunning.

Vicky, there were times today that I thought I was on Highway One. The Sea on one side, lowland farming and mountains on the other.

Where are all the Kilts?

I have nearly walked the entire length of Scotland and haven't seen one kilt.

Perhaps these 'roughty toughty' scots only put them on when it's warm!

Mind you, what about the midgies!

Long day today

I now have about 75 miles left which in reality is over 80.

I need a big day today and am back to my early starts. A perfect day beckons, clear blue sky's and not too hot.

1st Hole at Royal Dornach

Similar 1st hole to Sutton.

Same distance....come away with a par and be grateful.

A long way to the beach.

My last beach was in Cornwall.

I have walked over 900 miles to get to this one. The things people do for a paddle!

Golfing Country

I am looking forward to my destination today.

Dornoch has one of the finest golf courses in the country. And, it is a nice town, and, it has a nice beach for Sue.

The whole area is a golfing paradise with Golspie, Brora, and Tain.

I should have brought my clubs!
