First drive on the left sign! Arrived Helmsdale.

This area really is busy with tourists. I've lost count of the number of coaches and camper vans that have passed. Arrived in Helmsdale in record time. 71 miles cycled.4 hours 25 mins in the saddle and and average of 16.1mph. It'll be hillier tomorrow and that will slow me down.

Helmsdale is an old herring port and the local fish is recommended. Our B&B is grand and run by a chef from Lymm. Bathtime now as my legs seem to have a fake tan.

Hoping for a dry final day tomorrow.

Drive on the left indeed!
If you look closely at the picture you will see in the distance there is actually someone coming the other way who really needs to read that 'Drive on the left' sign as a matter of urgency!

Hope they didn't crash in to you, Simon!
