We left Nairn in brilliant sunshine at 9.20am and after lunching in Wick and visiting Duncansby Head, John O'Groats and Dunnet Head, we arrived at The Melvich Hotel (located in a small village 18 miles west of Thurso) about 3.45pm. A total drive of 188 miles.
It was notable that the landscape changed north of Helmsdale, from being very hilly and rocky to becoming almost completely flat, until you reached west of John O'Groats.
We were very lucky with the weather - mostly sunny intervals, a bit windy but no rain to speak of until we left Dunnet Head and were nearly at Thurso.
