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 7.1

Left at 09:25. Weather ok, if a little chilly. Put my jumper on for the first time.

First stop Ardvreck Castle, a 15th century ruin. First encounter with any midges. Put the skin stuff on this morning but doesn't seem to be deterring them.

Next stop should be a fuel stop at Lochinver I think. Already lost track of what I'm doing and what day it is!
