    Brora to Wick

    21 juillet 2022, Écosse ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    All day on the A9 and A99 which is both mentally and physically testing.

    Speed has been either 5mph or 25mph depending on the slope. Most passing traffic considerate but lots of concentration is required by the cyclist.

    After delightful coffee and toast in Helmsdale, refreshment stops were rare. I ended up talking to roadside animals and playing mental games with vehicle number plates (only one with a 61 plate).

    Weather overcast and cool - like a vampire I cast no shadow all day.

    Huge cemetery on the entrance to Wick including a big collection of war graves. All from either the Navy or the Air Force. Many from commonwealth countries. Clearly WWII affected this area.

    Spacious campsite in Wick.
