day 45 (yester day was actually 44)

Today we cycled 47 miles from Thurso to Wick. We set off at 9 am not a bad start and our stuff was quite dry. That soon changed as we went through a few showers. The first place we were going to was Dunnet head the most northly place in Britain higher than John o' groats only a few miles a but the wind was right in our faces so that wasn't fun. We got there and its on a hill, very windy we could just stop the phone from shaking to take pictures. We sheltered there from a bit of rain and cycled back a bit with the wind behind us it was fun. John o' groats next twelve miles from Dunnet. We missed a turning at one point but still got back on track the wind was mainly on our side now until the last bit where it was in our face. John o' groats was surprisingly nicer than Lands end which had to much tourism but John o' groats was a lot better basically just a few places to eat and a shop we had lunch there. After that our stuff was drier and we cycled on to Wick but soon rain started first fine but then it was harsh and stinging with the wind so much that we had to huddle under some trees for a while, that was the second time we did that today but last time the rain didn't hurt and it didn't last that long we waited for about ten minutes in the end. We got to a bridge and dad was really exited when we saw some big pipes that he said where for gas and he was staring for a while it wasn't raining at that point but I knew it would and wanted to go. He was just staring at it for ages and the rain did get us in the end and I blame him for that it went with us all the way to Wick. At Wick we sheltered from the rain at a pharmacy we got to our b&b booked by Ling and its a really nice one but now we're going out for dinner.
