Alness to Dornoch - 28 miles
Nice bright morning with all road running but on pleasant country lanes. Reached Tain after 12 miles, where we met up with Linda, Barbara and Harry, and soon afterwards were also joined by Chris who had driven up to join us for the rest of the trip.
Linda ran with us to Dornoch, a delightful small seaside town with a cathedral, a world renowned golf course and beautiful sands. As is our wont we immediately went into the sea for a paddle (Harry went in after us and promptly fell in headfirst but came up smiling!). Although we were staying in Dornoch we had another 5 miles to go to try and equalize the daily distances, and this took us along the coast to a spot called Skelbo on an inlet where there was a possibility of seeing grey seals. Unfortunately the tide was in and there were no seals to be seen.
Went past 1117 miles which was what we originally estimated to be our total distance, but unfortunately we still have 4 days to go. We did however see our first sign for John O'Groats - 85 miles!!!
