1 mile outside Thurso I make my first wrong turn adding 2 miles to my journey before I start.
Getting to John O'Groats keen to get going as every one there is finishing by all means possible. So a quick picture and I am off.
To try and make the challenge easier I have tried to break the journey down into chunks I am use to - today 2 and a half trips to work. This did not work each mile dragged especially the ones up hill.
The scenery is awesome taking my mind off the job in hand.
As I reach my intended destination Helmsdale it clouds over looking like it is going to rain. At this point I see a sign for a £20 room - so here I am. Day one and still 800 plus miles to go.
Stats for today
75 miles
12.2 average speed
1240. Total ascent
