Day 11 Cromarty ferry

Woke to blue skies and sunshine. The first ferry was due at 8am so we agreed to be out in time to get the one at 9am. When we arrived it was nowhere to be seen on either side of the Firth. Then some locals out by the harbour said the ferryman's mate had overslept after a night at the pub and it would leave in 20 mins after they had collected him. When it came it was fab - just room for one car to stand on a turntable so it could be spun to drive off the same way it came on. And the views back to Cromarty were superb. Nobody seemed to mind about the late start - it was that kind of place.

We met you in the pub here in Cromarty (I took your photo). Congratulations on your achievement and it is good to know that you made it safely. I came across your blog wjile trawling for blogs referring to Cromarty.

Best wishes,

Hello Nick,
Yes I remember you very well. Thanks for taking the trouble to find us. I made made it back to Inverness with our 4th team member a couple of weeks ago and he passed through Cromarty the next day!
