Bettyhill to John O'Groats 58 miles

We've done it! 1041 miles in 15 days. No punctures - I can't believe it. Nothing more than minor niggles and one fall each; the bruises are almost gone now. 
We've met some great people and there is no one I wouldn't be happy to sit next to at dinner tonight. Bike Adventures have been great throughout to make sure everything runs smoothly. 
So how was the last day? Leaving Bettyhill there were some rolling hills and we passed gorgeous looking beaches  which were absolutely deserted. This was probably due to the strong wind which was impeeding our progress. But our fitness has improved a lot over the last two weeks and we made good progress into Thurso for lunch. 
It's a short distance to John O'Groats so we have plenty of time to divert to Dunnet Head - the most northerly point on the British mainland. Unexpectedly the wind drops and the sun comes out as soon as we turn off the main road and the five miles up to lighthouse are great cycling. Then it's back to the main road and a short sprint to the finish.
We are met at John O'Groats with applause plus champagne and strawberries, then down to the signpost for a photo. 
It feels really odd to have finished and not to be getting everything ready for another cycle tomorrow. Long drive home instead, and then work on Monday.
