We reached the north coast at Bettyhill at about 7pm and checked in - elated - to the Far Bay Inn (or FBI). After dinner we took a short stroll to the fabulous, empty beach. It was 10pm but still plenty of daylight and amazing skies reflected in the waves and off the wet sand. We stood and reflected on the enormity of our achievement - almost exactly 1,000 miles of cycling to this point - and we also wished Simon could be there to share it with us. But he'll get up here soon. Tomorrow we ride east along the coast to John O' Groats!
Mark.

Congratulations! Amazing to stand on the shore and think that there's nothing between you and Siberia except Arctic ice. Which won't be there in 20 years' time anyway.
Well done!
Since you're heading along the north coast, you should pop in at Dunnet Head and bag the Most Northerly Point as well.
Still, in that case you should really have done the Lizard while in Cornwall, to complete the set. Hmmm. Just have to go back I suppose. Seems reasonable enough - it'd be less than you've done already. And I'd have thought a ferry to the Scilly Isles was in order anyway.
