Day 7 Dornoch Bay Caravan Park - John O' Groats 86 miles

Bobby left early again this morning, 5:40am. He wasn't just in the pink!! After his usual bowl of Just Right he took some painkillers for the ankle & set off. Val left soon after without waking the boys up. When we caught up he had some very welcome toast & hot chocolate, Adam & Craig were still in bed!! The first stint hadn't been too bad as the wind was mainly on his side and he had on long cycling trousers & gloves. Brora to Wick proved to be much tougher. Kate Love was right about the two hills which were so steep they each had a braking pit in case your brakes failed. Wow!!! Corkers! Val & boys headed to Wick where Bobby had lunch in the Sommerfield CarPark. Bobby arrived, ready for a break. After lunch, he had a rest till 1pm then set off for the last leg of this epic journey. Craig joined him for some of the journey but the wind proved to be too much for him. Adam took over and finished at John O'Groats. Exhausted Bobby & Adam arrived to be welcomed by Mary & Willie Currie and Val & Craig armed with a well deserved bottle of asti.
