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 6.1

Had a lie in this morning. My overnight stop is in Ullapool, which is only about 137 miles away and with my whale watching cancelled I have an extra couple of hours to kill.

Plan B, a stop at the Deer Museum. Having come across four wild stags yesterday, I thought I'd get up close and personal. Apparently it is free to enter, so even better. You can buy bags of food to feed them. Last time I did that was back in 2015 at the deer farm on Route 66.

Weather this morning is grey and overcast. Temperature about 11 degrees. Brrrrr!
