NC500 Day 4 and Tongue

Dear Lord, Sid James would have a field day here 😂 The sciatica is loving the long car journeys and thriving upon them. The ankle just adores being idle and then walking around, 😂 so, need some serious Yoga and long runs. But the trip is going well now we have brakes. We stopped off at Thurso on the way here, the Tesco does an amazing £3 meal deal… dried up chicken sandwich and a bag of crisps with a bottle of Irn Bru. But the church was nice, they have a bridge and a rather dubious looking nightclub. 🤔

Someone mentioned birds, as you know I’ve always been fond of birds and as the nightclub was closed I decided to head for Dunnet Head, which is more northerly than John O’Groats. There’s loads of birds there and by the state of my shoes, sheep too. It was quite eerie with the mist and rain but still spectacular.

Arriving in Tongue I noticed a castle which we decided to walk up to the next day before we moved on. We booked into our bothy (Princess says it’s an abode, used for itinerant workers 🤷🏻)

The walk to the castle looked further than it was. Personally I’d say it was a keep, but it’s their building so they can call it what they like…

Now for some reason WordPress has stopped allowing me to load photos in a gallery. So I’m stopping there. Tomorrow we hit the North Atlantic… I hope you’re all enjoying your summer 😘
