Day 14 to John O'Groats Friday 23/6/6
We made it. This last leg of the journey was relatively easy, with the hills getting smaller the closer you got to the end. We passed Dounreay Power Station which seemed quite popular as a tourist stop. But in truth we were just trying to get to the end as quickly as possible by now so we could make our way home.
We arrived at John O'Groats around 2:30 and it is much less developed than Land's End. It still had tourist shops, but also a small working harbour and seemed a lot more open.
That afternoon we drove down to Selkirk arriving around 10pm and stayed and the same B&B, went to the same pub. It was great to see much of the route we had travelled on by bike from a van. Did we really ride up such big hills?
Back home by 6pm on Saturday. We decided not to go for a short ride on our bikes - at least not for a few days.
978 miles gone - finished.

Thank you to the great many people who have sponsored us and helped us through this trip. It was always a great motivator on the occassions when you wondered why you were there, usually in the cold and wet. Would I do it again? Well not this year, maybe I'll wait until I'm 70 like my Uncle Dave did.

Regards
Ed
