Dreary weather today.  Heavy cloud and a brisk breeze from the south-west with an occasional shower.  A dreary road too.  Very long, straight sections over open moorland.

There were a few more interesting things towards the end of the day.  Several miles of giant wind turbines, and a Scottish Heritage site.

Hazel was her usual brilliant self; meeting me for lunch in Watten and finding the next night’s accommodation.  She didn’t even give me a hard time when I produced the keys to last night’s room from my pocket.  Oops.

Still, 19 additional miles under the belt.  Feet are a bit sore but otherwise legs feel ok.  Another nice place to stay; Loch Watten House.

An early night required as tomorrow could be interesting.  50mph winds are forecast for most of the day, and I’ll be on the A9 cliff-top road.  If it’s dangerous I shan’t be walking.  Stay tuned.
