Apparently I’m too early to get a tag, I understood, will be recording data for anyone wishing to cycle end 2 end, well, that is not too important either. I’m not planning to beat the record and complete in under 27 hours :)
John O'groats my starting point is surprisingly beautiful little town with a small Harbour:

Orkney Islands as seen from Dunnet Head
