50-something to go

Today was never going to be easy. After yesterday's exertions, of course I
started tired. And the goal - John O'Groats - is still most of a day away.
Add to that the cold and the drizzle, offset only by the bright colours and
coconut fragrance of the ubiquitous gorse, and I admit I struggled. Scenery
more modest than I had hoped - didn't see seals or dolphins in the Dornoch
Firth - but Loch Fleet at low tide, backed by 'gentle' hills, was
impressive... Miles and miles of mud!
