A difficult day today, 13 days of the routine of cycling is starting to get a bit wearing. Also, the weather broke today in true scottish style with heavy rain settling in and a strong northerly wind lashing the rain horizontally into our faces ! Made our progress much slower and moral was dipping as fingers and legs started to go numb ! The roads stretched on and on over the moors and heaths with no villages for miles making it hard to work out how far we were getting. However, on the occasions the mists did lift we got nice glimpses of Cromarty and Dornoch Firths and as we approached the youth hostel, the sun under leaden skies gave rise to a double rainbow. Carbisdale Castle youth hostel was very impressive, with a grand statue gallery and huge paintings on all the walls. We ate another bowl of pasta for tea and went to bed !
