About Me

I've recently retired and I've been doing long distance walks for some years now - this one is the biggest yet though.

24 little hours...

..to go!  Can you believe it?

Today was19 miles today from Latheron to Wick.  A dry day but VERY cold winds, woolly hat and gloves time.

Wick Castle - more Shrek than Lord Farquaad ;-)
The first part of the journey was through what I would describe as Crofter land, lots of small-holdings some more modern looking than others.
Near Latheron and I think this one is for sale.
If you are interested there are lots of houses and land for sale here - perhaps the weather is too much!  You'd have to be a hardy soul to live here during winter, that's for sure.

After about 12 miles I crested a hill and could see for miles with the mountains in the far distance.  It reminded me of the Somerset Levels.

This is my final night under canvas.   One more day's walk and I will have done it!
