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

How do you make gold soup?

Put 24 carrots in it! Had a lovely day off yesterday although I'm somewhat disappointed to report I didn't find any gold!


Guess what's for tea then?


18 miles today from Helmsdale to Latheron with a heck of a lot of very steep ups and downs.  It's practically like walking along the cliffs.

Along the cliffs near Latheron
I lose the A9 tomorrow as it splits off to go to Thurso and I hit the A99 for Wick.
Left for Thurso, Right for Wick

This is my penultimate night under canvas on this walk by the way!

Updates tomorrow...

My nephew's wife is from Thurso. We met all her family at the wedding last year - absolutely lovely people, farmers in the main. Bleak up there Ray, in the winter. I bet it's almost like noon up there all night.
Can't believe you're so near to your goal - I bet you're really excited. Enjoy the rest but take care on those cliffs.
Much love
