We has one hell of a climb out of Drumnadrotchit, it took nearly 45 minutes and the road was nigh on 45 degree angle. Got to the top and waited for Boycie who was really going well despite the shoulder injury he was carrying resulting from yesterdays pile up.
Arrived at Beauly, the sort of place you go through and say you should go back but never do, lots of nice hotels and shops.
Meanwhile the Support team were searching for Dolphins an Seals at Chanonry Point on the Moray Firth…but had no luck...try SeaWorld!
A lot of questions have been raised wrt the comfort and softness of my saddle; with over 900 miles completed I must report that the Brooks B17 Classic Leather saddle has proven itself…no problems from my end!
No more stops for me and Boyce, we were cracking on and by 2pm had arrived in Tain our destination for the day.
Boycie had done well today…exceeded expectation even and after a brief lay down to recover we found the nearest pub for a couple of Beers and a Sunday Lunch. Met up with the support team and checked into our B&B which wins the best view prize overlooking Dornock Firth.
