We've walked 21 miles today. After 3 miles we were able to say goodbye to the A9 and join its bastard offspring, the A99. After 4 more miles we left the A99 and headed north on a single track road for 12.5 miles of quiet walking to Wotten.
We have been seeing quite a lot of cyclists on the A9/A99 in the last few days and Andrew has taken to giving them a cheery wave and wishing them good luck. It totally confused the local postman.
Andrew's wife, Kate, flew up today to join Andrew, Janet and me for tomorrow's celebration when we reach John O'Groats.
Met Walter again this morning. We probably won't see him tomorrow but hope to be there when he finishes on Saturday morning.

Finally got round to making a donation today. I was hoping to be able to sponsor you per length of the country, to give you a bit of motivation to turn around for another 1,036 miles (just to make things challenging....)
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy the last few miles, and we'll see you on Sunday.
Dave & Andrew,
ReplyDeleteIt's the Edinburgh marathon this Sunday. I don't know if they are accepting entries on the line but I'm sure they'll take you in!!
Well done...
