Leaving JOG very underwhelmed by our acheivement we tried to find a shop as we needed water. Being after 5.oopm everywhere was closed so we headed south towards Wick into a headwind with little fluid. We had 17 miles to go and into the wind. It was not nice but we set off. We decided to try to keep together but it was difficult as OWO was slower on the hills (both up and down!), but we waited frequently and the slow pace meant we did not need so much fluid. We had to share what drink we had as we found nowhere to buy water.
It took 1 hour 47 minutes to cycle 16.8 miles to Wick and only 14 minutes was time spent stationery.
We found our B&B following a phone call and was welcomed to our rooms with a glass of port.
Nobody felt elation. We were tired and muscles ached. It all felt like an anti-climax.
The landlady booked a table at a local restaurant so we had a nice meal, 6 pints of Guinness between us and then went back and finished the small decanter of port.
We had another early start in the morning as our train left for Inverness at 8.15 from the station round the corner. - No rest for us then!
