Brora to Dunnet via John o Groats

Well we achieved a milestone today in reaching the top of Scotland, as far you can go with wheels on. It is a nice view out across the water to a few islands that lay just to the north.

Signpost at John O'Groats

On the way we drove through lots of little villages, saw lots of wind turbines again out at sea and found lots of places that were closed for the winter!! Great work us.

We ventured north to Wick where we hoped to see a few things, but alas not be be. We did wander around the docks and got to see the shortest street in the world. Yep correct short it is. It is measured by just the doorway.

Wicks Docks

Shortest Street

We ventured to a castle but it was in ruins and nothing really to see sadly.

Sorry Gramps no John (Wicks) :)

We did see the 7 gates with art work collected by the towns children and people to represent the district.

Next off to John O ' Groats where we reached the top of Scotland. Lovely spot. It is very windy here even the van is rocking from gale force winds. Hoping to see the Northern Lights in the next day or 2 fingers crossed.

We noted that we are 2200 miles from the north pole!!

Till next time Live the Dream ..............

It was very smooth no seasickness this time :) We got on the 4x4 wheel bus and headed inland to Lake Mackenzie. This was a very picturesque spot. The water was very cool and the sand as white as we've seen it. After this we headed to Central station , the old tree clearing head quarters. Next we headed for Lake Wobby which was a 45 min trek in and 45 out across lots of sand. It sits on a big sand-blow which will eventually disappear. A small fresh water lake with a couple of cat fish in it. Then off to our accommodation for the night. The next day we headed out to run the beach pretty much all day heading all the way up to Champagne Pools. We eventua...
