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...
