John O'Groats to Land's End - 1989

August 4th - Carbisdale to Strathpeffer (40 miles)              Next
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'.
