16. Day 12. 19th June. Roy Bridge to Dingwall .

Commando memorial at Spean Bridge


Loch Ness


Views along the A833



Decided to use the A82 since it offers the most level route – I'm trying to save my left knee.
The constant headwind made for slow progress. The wind was very cold and at one point I put plastic bags over my gloves to make them windproof. Lovely views all along this road.
The motorised traffic showed good manners – only the occasional scare. At Drumnadrochit joined the A833 in order to bypass Inverness. Very long steep push up a hill to start with but ok after that. Buley was staging some sort of cycling event and I was cheered through the finish line but cycled past the bemused officials who were handing out the medals. Decided to call it a day at Dingwall.
Today's Stats: Distance 72m
Avg Speed: 9.9 mph
Max Speed 34 mph
Cumulative milage: 939 miles
