Woody's North Coast 500 Adventure

Wild Hog Woody sets out on a solo trip this time, to the very tip of this fair isle and around the coasts of Scotland, on the NC500 tourist route. Scotland's answer to Route 66....apparently. This 10 day adventure will take Woody from Inverness, clockwise around the route, to Applecross, Ullapool, Durness, John o'Groats and finally South, back to the starting point in Inverness. With some detours on the way up and down, the round trip will be a shade under 1950 miles.

Day 10.3

Lunch over with I was back on the road, gradually making my way through the dales and into Lancashire, the county of my birth. It wasn't long before the countryside slipped away and I was travelling through the industrial towns. Those then slipped by to be replaced by the M60. Once again Ginny could stretch her legs.

I arrived at my aunt & uncle's house about 16:00. Though a bit chilly before lunchtime, the weather had been pretty good, sunny for periods but happily, dry.

Tomorrow is the last leg of my journey. I have a couple of detours planned, one being to the Emirates Stadium to watch Arsenal v Man City. I'm expecting to reach home by 20:00.
