Cycling North

Cycling up to Scrabster.Trying to beat the rain just a little mizzl so far.sitting in cafe in Lairg with a cup of tea,building up the stamina to cycle up to crask.

I seem to have a lot of gear to take with me. Plus a lot of cables and leads, for phone, camera, etc. I leave for Orkney on Wednesday with Keith then am booked onto the overnight ferry to Shetland on Saturday. Will cycle as far north in the U. K. as roads allow, then I take the Loganair flight to Bergen on Wed. 20th Am taking my warm but bulky Norwegian sleeping bag - if I can fit it somewhere!

This year I am cycling North.                     I have cycled to Thurso more than once and as my partner Keith is coming to Orkney with me I will skip the cycle to Scrabster.   So the plan is to leave home on the 13th June, cross to Orkney and enjoy the June daylight, then take the ferry to Lerwick on the Saturday. Will cycle as far north on Shetland as I can go, then take the flight to Bergen, Norway on June 20th. (sadly there is no longer a ferry). Then cycle North crossing the Arctic circle to North Cape and on to the Russian border.
