Heading into the wind

Day 19.. Today I had the excitement of Paul joining me. He got to do an overnight bus trip from London after work to arrive in Inverness at 11.30 the next day.. I had a nice big day planned for him after that.. but I know how much he loves challenges! So we set off from Inverness and for only the second time in the trip hit a great head wind. Winding around some farmland and over a couple of good hills and then catching a ferry across the harbour at Nigg. Onto the A9, so a bit of bus dodging and head down into the wind along the coast. Getting pretty barron, windswept country, hugging the harbour and spotting a few seals before passing a really cool castle looking out over the ocean. Paul had brought the tent up for us to stay in.. but I think he was planning on it being london temperatures, and so only brought one sleeping bag.. so the decision was made to hit the b&b at the pub that night. Got to Brora, the target town of the day after 102km... then on to have a nice big feed after which Paul fell asleep in the dining room.
