At about 55 miles from JO'G Helmsdale is a good overnight place for first/last night of the E2E ride.
* we're not staying there, but would have if we had known about it.

Over 800 miles completed now. Today was one of rolling roads beside lochs including Ness. Rhododendrons, heathers, red squirrel (dead), heathers, gorse, more siskins and lapwings.
Foreign motorbikes and camper vans were ubiquitous.
Mega climb out of Drum-na-drochit, 750 feet in 3K but then a 40mph descent.
Next two days are only fifty miles or so each - they will feel like rest days!

Called briefly on my cousin DavidM - not seen him for nearly 30 years, although I did ride past his house when I rode JOGLE in 2005
Edit-no signal so sent later
