John o' Groats here we come

---

Hi Guys, having recovered from my leg injury, I set off again on my travels from the Isle of Arran and headed north to John o'Groats via Oban, Fort William, the Caledonian Canal, Loch Lochy, Carbisdale Castle (which is actually a Youth Hostel) and then up to Tongue in the extreme north of the country before heading east to John o'Groats. By the time I had reached John o'Groats I had covered some 3340 miles. Scotland was absolutely beautiful with some very remote regions in places. Staying in the Youth Hostel was rather splendid and allowed one to sample life as an aristocrat. They don't call me Lord Sturdy for nothing! John o'Groats itself was a bit of a let down with me arriving there on a gloomy day, but it nevertheless meant that I had completed another one of the stages I had set myself on this bike ride.
