Saturday took me 22 miles from Alness to
Dornoch today and it was dry!

| 500 year old Dornoch Castle - now a hotel |
By the way just want to wish my son and daughter in law a "Happy 10th Wedding Anniversary". If I'd have done this walk the other way around I'd be in Cornwall now and could have picked you up a nice tin gift!
That was day 55 from a walking point of view so as I am 60 years old I've decided that I'll try and take another 5 walking days to get to John O'Groats That would be cool 60 days in my 60th year.
Last night the
Old School House B&B I stayed in let me have a self-contained flat for the price of an ordinary room. Very generous and pure luxury! If you are up this way, stay there!

| I'd recommend here for a stay. |
Anyway, back to today. At a place called
Scotburn I met a chap called James LcLaren whol kindly invited me in to his house for a cuppa where I met his lovely wife called Carol. 10 minutes after leaving their house they pulled up longside me in their car and donated £10 to the charity. What a lovely couple and such a kind gesture! How kind is that?!!

| Dornoch Bridge |
The other highlight today was crossing the
Dornoch Bridge, its the oldest of its kind in the world and give some great views.

| Dornoch Beach - wish I'd brought my bucket and spade! |
Tonight I'm camped by the beach in Durnoch.

Happy Father's Day, Dad! Hope you had a lovely relaxing day - maybe popped out for an easy 20ish mile stroll after lunch?
Keep it up Dad, not far to go now xxx
Keep on keeping on Ray - we're watching as you eat up the miles
Cheers - Alan and Lesley
Congratulations. Just as well you waited until you were sixty then, old man, so you could give yourself enough time for this gentle stroll.... :-) I hope the next five days are just fab for you. Liz x
