Not been under canvas since May, so late Friday afternoon decided to head north, just cos I could
Had planned to wild camp but couldn’t think of anywhere suitable on my planned route, so Durness campsite it was for the night.
Some photo’s from my journey north, in varied weather (meaning rain and sun in varying amounts – fortunately mainly sun)
Found an open gate and wanderer as far as the stalkers landrover . . . .
Quite-ish night followed by an early start – here’s my breakfast welcoming the dawn
Had the road virtually to myself, so I put-put-putted along taking in the growing rays of the sun on the various hills I rode past.
Loch Broom
Dundonnell
Enjoyed a game of chase with some sports bikes that set off from Durness after me – they over-took me, then slowed down to allow a mate to catch up, so I over took them. Then they whizzed past me again when their mate had caught them up. I tootled on, stopping for photo’s here and there, only to have them wiz past me again when I stopped to take this photo at Gruinard Bay. Caught up with them again at Aultbae where they were having a fag next to the NATO fuelling dump!
Finally a local attraction with a rainbow - Dallas Dhu distillery
Fantastic 24hrs out of the house, covering a little over 400 miles, with the Strom averaging over 65mpg – I must have been going reet slow – moving average speed for the whole trip was just under 43mph, so not that slow really
