Wednesday 26th April Helmsdale - Wick

Travelled approx 50 miles today .Left Helmsdale having got the donation details of a woman called Suzanne who was in the pub last night  , who had just started  running from John o Groats to Lands end( for an ex service  charity)  2 days ago  ( high winds and severe cold  forced her to abandon her run prematurely today  ( She achieved 40  miles on the first day and  but down to 16 on the second because of rthe weather)   and with  her support team she had  booked  into accommodation at the Bannockburn  pub .We also bid farewell to a chatty campervanner from near Oban, travelling  in the opposite direction to us  and we drove on the A9
Stunning coastal views in cold sunshine, a series of attractive fishing harbours e.g. Lybster and some Celtic standing stones before ending our journey for today in Wick where we had the honour of being amongst the first to swim, steam and sauna in their brand new community pool which opened today!
Wick town centre was very run down in appearance .Will visit Wick




heritage museum tomorrow before heading for John o Groats
