The John o Groats Hotel
The addition at the end is on a Norwegian theme....very nicely done.
John o Groats
Such a fabulous journey and I have finally arrived.
I can quite honestly say that I have enjoyed every last little minute of it.
We have a lovely B&B tonight (the John o Groats Guest House) with a home cooked dinner... plus a nice bottle of Red to celebrate.
Graveyards facing the Sea
This used to be a huge fishing area. A hard life, so many fishermen lost at their work.
Coffee?
It's a Sunday morning and Wick is deserted.
I had given up on the idea of a coffee break, and then, right at the end of town...a Tesco's.
I hate Tesco's, normally I would give it a wide berth. Today, all moral's out of the window.. it's Costa time.

Last Day
I am a little sad as it is my last day.
It is a foggy start at Thrumster. If it were clear I would see Wick....beyond Wick there is nothing until John o Groats.

A successful day
Well it was mission accomplished today leaving myself an easier day tomorrow of about 22 miles.
It was interesting meeting 2 guys both starting out but going the other way.
The one looked very fit and had given himself 8 weeks which I think he will achieve comfortably.
The other had a heavy pack and was camping. He intended to walk the first 4 days and then run the rest, completing in 21 days. I might be doing him a complete disservice but I thought he was in cloud cuckoo land! Just looking at him and his gear he has no chance, plus he was totally unassisted.
The B&B has great panoramic views across the sea. We are dining there as well...Cullen Skink using fish from there own smoke house, then Roast Pork from there own hand reared pigs.
A nice bath and a four poster bed....luxury. It is amazing how the accommodation has differed as they have all been a similar cost.

A Canny Race
Why buy a new one if the old one still works!
