Day 18 - Tongue to John O'Groats

We made it!  

The last day started dull, grey and cold, but with very little wind as we headed out of Tongue.  It was pretty un-spectacular scenery to be honest and some quite steep rolling hills as we rode through Bettyhill and then later arrived in Thurso with about 20 miles left to go.   A further tea stop and then the sun came out, so we had intermittent sunshine for the last few miles and a sunny finish at John O'Groats.

We have now made it back to our B&B, are all showered and clean and ready for our "celebratory" dinner at the very unglamorous seaview hotel.

Off to Orkney tomorrow for a couple of days site seeing and touring around before getting back to the mainland on Saturday evening.  We then get picked up and transported back to Inverness at 1pm on Sunday.  We then get a flight back to Luton and our bikes get packed up and courierred  back to us in the next few days.
