An account of preparation for and undertaking of a cycle tour of Britain Feb.-June 2013. The 'Just Giving' page has now closed, very many thanks to those who donated I think about £400 was given. It had not been my prime motive but both the Hospice and I are very grateful for the money raised. Please keep reading the blog and commenting, I may try to turn it into a book if anyone might be interested.

Day 71.
Dingwall.
The showers were mercifully brief blown on by the stiff norwesterly but the rain still stung on my frozen cheeks.
I had a little explore of the Black Isle (not an island atall) and stood on Chanonry Point in hope of seeing dolphins, lots of people with binoculars doing likewise but I hope they did better than me.
Super little museum in Rosemarkie, Groam House with some really good carved stone Pictish art.
Have now reached Dingwall which seems a nice little town, even has a 24 hour Tesco store so if the tent blows away in the night I know where to get food and shelter.
Hope to meet a friend who is cycling down from Altnaharra tomorrow when we should both be in Tain.
Good night.
