Weather today: Gale force winds, rain
Daily Miles Covered: 19
Total Miles Covered: 1052.5
Things of Interest: People phoning me, en route.
Personal Comments: Caithness is low lying, with moors and peat bogs that stretch to the sea, and consequently when the wind blows there isn't a lot to stop it, today was no exception, where are the pine trees when you need them. The wind was a howling gale, shoving me all the time into the road, so I had to walk leaning to my right for most of the way, again concentrating fully. Lisa, my daughter phoned me up asked of my welfare, then a friend Dave called asked me when I was starting this trek! I think he knew really. All the way on the A99 the weather for June was atrocious, the rain didn't relent all day. Small villages came and went, but there never seemed to be anyone around. There were lots of abandoned cottages and farmsteads that could easily be rectified, because when the sun shines the views all around would be tremendous.
I entered Wick with the rain still lashing down, and found Harry on a Somerfield car park, I got out of my wet gear, had a brew, and knew that tomorrow would be the last day, it's a strange feeling I'll tell you.
