Personal Comments: A full days road walking today was the order, but there was no alternative. Leaving Dingwall a found a minor road which was slightly longer than the main road, but it would be better. Going parallel with The Cromarty Firth, it gave good views to the sea and all around. I passed through small villages en route, until I came to Alness which was a lovely market town. The sun was shining, people were doing their shopping, and going about their business in general. Today I thought I hadn't brought enough food, so I bought 3 pies to keep me going. After Alness there is little to report, a country lane that took me all the way to Tain through pleasant countryside. Once in Tain, a short walk down the A9, I found Harry parked in a lay-bye. After 26 miles, I thought a drink would go down well, so we called for one in The St. Duthus hotel, and did it taste good. More of the same on Sunday I'm afraid but that's the way it is now
