Alness to Tongue.
Overnight rain cleared in time for us to depart, and we didn't see it again until a little later on in the day. And where there was an absence of rain, there was a head/cross wind in its place.
This made the going hard, battling this as well as "really well thought out" cycle paths that had us carrying our bikes down wet metal stairs and over a river - not good!
Loch's and rolling hills were the order of the day, until we stopped at the Shin Falls and watched the salmon leaping up big waterfalls.
The midges came out this afternoon and welcomed us the North - we couldn't stop for too long as they would descend on us the moment we did.
The miles ticked over slowly, and the road slowly tipped down towards the sea, we had made it to Tongue.
We were all a little flat this morning and the hostel tonight is a welcome sight, not to mention a warm haven away from the midges.
112km for the day - one more to go!
Keep checking in here for updates from the road, and if you haven't already done so, please visit our >> JustGiving << page to donate.
And a MASSIVE thank you to those that have donated!
