A really tough first day today. We woke up to rain and it pretty much didn't stop all day. A 4 hour train trip was followed by a soggy 20 mile trip just to get to the start line! Great vibe at john o groats, prob because most people were finishing their rides. After some pics and a quick burger we were on our way, with a guy called dave we,d met on the train in tow.
We soon found out the hard way why most people cycle from south to north, as we were battered by a horrible headwind for the next 50 miles. It really took a lot out of us but we did go through some of the spectacular scenery I've ever seen.
In a lovely little called helmsdale now and both dead so early night so we can start early tomorrow :-)
Land End
