I reached Cape Wrath lighthouse at 3 p.m. on Thursday afternoon - amazingly on the planned day! After that, you look out and there is only ocean! So the journey is complete and a wonderful feeling that I've made it across the island from end to end.
1280 miles and still fit, but, yes, really quite tired today! Got home at 11 p.m. so I'll put a fuller post up later in the week including news of the last 2 weeks - plenty of Highland weather, fell in the Sandwood river on the final stretch, cooked a camping tea in the Duke of Westminster's memorial porch and were very glad of the shelter of his hay barn. So a few more tales to add...... log in next week for the rest of the news!
I got back home to Littleborough on Saturday night. Jane's father died later that night after a long illness. He had been very supportive of my journey and would have been glad that I had been able to complete it.
Andrew, once again well done it's a great achievement. Linda and I look forward to hearing all the tales of the people you've met and the places you've seen.
