Land's End to John o'Groats โ Day 74: Wick to John o'Groats, 22 miles. 1,259.95 miles and done. Beautiful weather to finish the walk I started in March. A fab last day of castles, brochs, empty bays and amazing cliffs. Now... beer, bath, bed.
Great things are done when men's sights are set on great adventures. Well done those poles. I was so pleased to know the weather was set to be good today. Back to the clag tomorrow!

Land's End to John o'Groats โ Day 72: Berriedale to Occumster, 17 miles. 1220.2 miles to date. Seabirds, seals, caves, sea stacks, secluded harboursโฆ And precisely no-one on the trail! Another great day on the J o'G Trail, even if Iโm starting to fight to get in while itโs light

Land's End to John o'Groats โ Day 73: Occumster to Wick, 17.75 miles. 1237.95 miles to date. Old herring stations, the incredible Whailgoe steps, seals by the hundred, dolphins, geos, stacks and sea arches in the most remote day yet of the JoG Trail. This is a place of magic.

Beacon Hill, looking westwards along the line of hills; Sidown, Pilot and Walbury. This was an intensely significant area 2,000 years ago and it is heartening to see the wildlife starting to recover after the hot summer.
