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 9.1

Do not stay at the Golspie Inn, at least not room 14. En-suite in a disgusting state, culminating in water dripping through the ceiling when upstairs took a shower. Had them take 50% off the bill. Seems to be run by amateurs.

Anyway, detour today to the Falls of Shin. Was hoping to see some leaping salmon.

Success, for me, if not for the salmon. Witnessed 7 attempts in about 30 minutes. They seem to be drawn to what looks the fiercest part of the falls. I wonder why? Amazing sight all the same.
