Arrived in John O'Groats!

After 2 days of driving we finally arrived in John O'Groats at around 18.45 today. Our campsite is situated right next to The Last House with a spectacular view straight across to the Orkney Islands! We enjoyed a lovely sunset earlier and are now about to get our heads down for an early start tomorrow. We'll be setting off at 6.30am from The Last House, cycling around 95 miles down to Lairg. Hopefully the big evening meal of curry and pasta, complete with Naomi's homemade flapjacks will see us through!! Forecast is for a clear dry day with a following wind! Hurray!! :o)
