Day 22 Thurso to Wick - Journey's End?

The view of Orkney from the BnB.
Mrs Catherine (Rena) Murray's wonderful establishment in Thurso.
Ready for the final push...
Looking back from the big climb out of Thurso - Bill's yacht parked in the harbour.
The whistful atmosphere of Castletown harbour, a place of former glories.
Heather takes a refreshing dip before the Famous Five get here!
Yet more interesting local residents, observing their neighbours.
We made it!
Lunch, coffee and the world's most ridiculous 4-slice sandwich at John O'Groats.
Great to see John's friend Mick, who came over from Orkney to meet us and made a very generous donation to our cause.
Last atmospheric view of the Caithness coastline en route to Wick, into the fierce headwind.
A toast to our success at the Norseman Hotel in Wick! An excellent dinner, especially the venison.
Total raised for our cause so far is over £4000 - a big thanks to all who contributed!

Where next?!
