A hard day for The Walker. We got an early start, to try and beat the rain which was due to start at lunchtime. But instead we got different rain. Not proper rain, falling from high up in the clouds, but drizzle falling from the low onshore clouds. It didn’t even show on the radar. But with the rising wind, it was a horrible, horizontal, soaking rain. In combination with an exposed and surprisingly fast back road, it was very unpleasant.
But with a lot of stops and starts, Janet made it to the east side of Thurso, now only 20 miles from Monday’s endpoint.
Also I’m beginning to recognise features from 16 years ago, like walls in the Caithness style….
