John O'Groats to Land's End - 1989

August 5th - Strathpeffer to Torridon (40 miles)            Next
This was a day that got better and better as it went along, and it started well - apart from some Scotch mist and drizzle. 
We had to cape up for a few miles, but we didn't mind because we had a tailwind. At Achanault the cafe was closed 
because of roadworks (?) so no elevenses for us. The hotel at Achnasheen gave us a good lunch and then the road 
started to narrow and the scenery to get Scottish. The ride out from Loch a Chroisg was magic and we climbed very 
gradually. Suddenly we were at the top of Glen Doherty and there was Loch Maree laid out in front of us. Tea at 
Kinlochewe and then a lovely ten miles to Torridon. A great day.
