Day 14: 88km
Inverness to Rogart
via Cromarty, ferry to Nigg, Tain, Dornoch
We had planned to go up through Lairg today, as far as Crask Inn, as we had heard of a really good bunkhouse there. Sadly, no space, so have diverted - and what a find! Great hostel composed of railway carriages, at the tiny (but still live) Rogart railway station. Run by keen cyclists/railway buffs who live in the redundant station building (buy your tickets on the train these days).
Jony has been nursing his bike along for the last few days but we finally found a bike shop today and it has now been patched up, with advice to replace the back wheel once he's home. While we were waiting for the verdict, we went to the local baker/cafe to dry out (very wet this morning) and met a family there (also drying out) who were cycling to Glasgow! Handset off from Bonar Bridge this morning but the children had got very cold in the rain. Said they had previously cycled the 125km Great Glen Way when the youngest child was 8! Definitely put us to shame!
