Culloden House, Inverness to John O’Groats – staying at Forss House (103 miles)

 

13th May 2022 

We’ve FINISHED!!! 

Our route lunged into the heart of the highlands along desolate single track roads, loads of yellow gorse and tiny lambs - it’s definitely spring time!

A quick pause to see the salmon leap at Falls of Shin then a beautiful long lochside cycle. 

After reaching the spectacular north coast at Bettyhill, we had a final sprint towards John O’Groats. 

The final landscape, a rugged coastline studded with the distant islands of the Orkneys, felt like a world away from Cornwall, where our grand adventure began!

Happy birthday, Stegsy! We’ve loved this entire journey together from the very start.

5 th   May 2022 After an amazing breakfast at Gidleigh Park, we set off on our second longest day! Almost 11 hours on our bikes, covering 162km!!  One of the day’s highlights was passing through the Mendip Hills AONB, a limestone landscape of steep hills, undulating plateaus and grasslands exploding with a rainbow palette of wildflowers.  Cheddar Gorge was breathtaking and pretty steep ..! We went from Devon to Somerset we are ticking off the counties!!!  Tonight we welcome Tors & Andrew to our happy peloton! Tomorrow is “only” 89km, we can’t wait!!!! Leaving Gidleigh Park Along the canal in Bridgewater Cycling up Cheddar Gorge Living the dream! Another climb 🙈 One day at a time 👍🏻
