It has been an exciting but exhausting day. As our train to Thurso wouldn't leave till 11, the owner of the B&B where we stayed gave us a tour of Dingwall, telling and showing us all the historic places there. Once on the train we shared a table with a guy, who was following on a ordnance survey map exactly were the train was going. He has maps like that of the whole country! Quite a hobby! We exchanged some information with two fellow cyclists, that will be very useful later on in the journey.
From Thurso we took a taxi to East Mey and soon after, our beloved tandem arrived - all put together as it should -. They gave an excellent service. On the train we saw other cyclists struggle with their bikes and were so glad we used this courier. After our evening meal we got on the bike to JOG and even cycled an extra 2 very hilly miles to see the Duncansby Lighthouse and the famous Duncansby stacks.
Always wanted to see those and to do that you actually have to walk on the top and edge of the U.K.! Tomorrow we will travel to Melvich, we are booked in there. But first we will go to visit the Castle of Mey.
