Day 14 - Last Post, Arrival at John O'Groats

Set off from the Crask in at 8.45 for the long final stretch to John O' Groats. One missing? Yes, Tony up at 5 am for a 6 am start while the rest of us slept on.

Lovely quiet route along a one lane road across the now quite austere landscape on the way to Bettyhill. Passed in bursts by the DeLoite bike event, supposedly 700 bikes starting out on the reverse trip to Land's End. Lots of high fives and 'well done lads' from them as they whizzed past.

A few other spectators along the way .....

First sights of the Atlantic soon after then a turn right along the flat top of Scotland. Took in the northernmost point of Britain at Dunnet Head with views across to Orkney.

Met up with Matt and Helen on the tandem and rode together for the last 7 miles to JOHN O'GROATS, after a 92 mile day's ride. Add 20 for Tony who'd gone to the end and come back to meet us.

Checked into the Seaview Hotel for the best hot shower yet and a celebratory binge before we all fell asleep.
