Day 17 - Rogart to Tongue

We have finally made it up to the North Coast and now have just one more days cycling to do.  Today was a hard day as we were heading north most of the day and the wind was really strong and mostly heading south east, so at times progress was quite slow.

Forecast was for sunshine and showers, so they were at least half right in that we got lots and lots of showers with a few glimpses of sun on the way.  

It was spectacular though and we had a mostly empty road, fantastic scenery which was pretty much devoid of any habitation, or buildings of any kind.  Terrific views of Ben Loyal and Ben Hope on the final run in to Tongue, but we were mighty relieved to arrive at the hostel in Tongue.
