Day 23 - Tongue to Thurso - blue skies, blue sea, golden beaches ..

After a good meal and night in the Tongue Hotel we woke to clear blue skies. We set off on what we knew was going to be a hard morning in terms of climbing, but the views in every direction were just amazing. We passed rivers,Lochs, beaches and mountains. Solitary houses and small hamlets. Houses with the most amazing outlooks and it stayed clear, though the wind did remind us that it didn't follow the rules. We finally got to Thurso about 4.30 after a very good day, not as hard as we thought and only 20 or so miles to do tomorrow. An excellent B&B with views to the Orkneys and the Old Man. Looking forward to tomorrow.
