Today in contrast to yesterday was a lovely fine day in the eastern part of Caithness, although towards the west there were persistent stormy showers. Definitely time to get out of the bike. I did a very enjoyable 60-mile circuit from John O'Groats along largely deserted roads – many of them very straight.
My route from John O'Groats took me via Canisbay to Lyth onto Watten then Westerdale onto the railway station at Scotscalder to northward to Thurso and the final 20 miles back to John O'Groats via Castletown.
