Day 48, Wednesday 27th May 2009

Lybster to Keiss
Only 21 miles today, most of it again on the A99 but with the last 3 miles along the beach at Sinclairs Bay. The first 1.5 miles along the beach was fantastic - perfect sand, no stones, no seaweed, no people. However, we then reached a fairly big river crossing the beach and were unsure how deep it was. As it looked fairly deep and fast-flowing and as it seemed a shame for either of us to be drowned with less than 20 miles to go to John O'Groats, we sent Linda in first. When she got to waist level we started to worry, but she made it across and we followed her route (we knew there was a reason why we let her join us). Greeted at the end by Kev and Louise, who had run the first few miles with us at Lands End and had driven up to run the last few miles with us to John O'Groats - blinking glory-hunters!
