Day 61

Today, by an extraordinary coincidence, we met two other end to end walkers at the same time on a stretch of road between Allness and Tain.
One, dressed as pikeman (as if this end to end walk isn't hard enough!) and calling himself The Charity Pikeman, has set off from John O'Groats this week. The other, Walter Baker, has walked from Lands End like us. He's English but lives in Canada and is 79 years old!
As far as I can tell somewhere between 50 and 100 people do this walk each year. There is no set route but most people end up going along the east coast of Scotland between John O'Groats and Inverness.
Andrew and I are now in Tain and my room in the b&b has a superb view over Dornoch Firth to the North Sea beyond.
