John O'Groats to Land's End - 1989

August 4th - Carbisdale to Strathpeffer 
(40 miles)

A perfect ride which went exactly according to plan - the first five 
miles just floated by, with breakfast at Ardgay. Then after a few
miles on the A9 again, up into the hills along the scenic route. The
wind was right behind us and the views were great. Along to Alness
then five more miles on the A9 with a sidewind. We spent a 
pleasant two hours in Dingwall, where I got my crank tightened
again. Arrived at the Youth Hostel at 5pm to find the place full of 
German 'hikers'.                                          NEXT
