Day 62

Tain to Golspie - 18 miles. The trick from now on is to avoid the A9 as much as possible. We had two sessions today where we couldn't get away from walking next to the A9 for several miles but inbetween we had a very pleasent walk on quiet roads to Dornoch and then alongside Loch Fleet.

The weather today has been overcast and drizzling while we understand that in the rest of the UK it's been fine and hot. That's the north of Scotland for you.

At breakfast at the B&B in Tain we met two end to end cyclists. They were heading south having completed the first day of their ride yesterday. This afternoon, as Andrew and I arrived at the B&B in Golspie we met a cyclist heading north. Presumably tomorrow will be his last day. The cyclists have it easy. They can sit down all day.
