This is the view I have of John O'Groats tonight. After a day of pushing hard to get here, including a delay to help a farmer and his wife round up their cows and get them into a field they simply did not want to be in, I arrived at about 8 o'clock to be told there was no room at the inn. The hotel was full, so I'm in a B&B just outside the village.

Also, today is the closest I came to running out of petrol. 166 miles between petrol stations and I was lucky enough to find one that was still open at 7pm. Phew!
