Hi all, I decided I would set a challenge to ride up to John O' Groats and back in three days.
Well, I'm back, but it took three and half days. Yes, partially due to the cold and also all the flippin' road works everywhere!
It was great fun, the weather was very dramatic with sun, mist, fog, rain, snow, hail and sleet, but every moment was memorable for one reason or another. The scenery was stunning, epecially riding through the highlands! I've ridden upto Scotland before but to see the snow not just on the very peaks of the mountains but in every direction you look was beautiful.

A back road where I filled up:
Making sure she would start up after the coldest night of my life:
With a stove burner on and off all night it was still frosted:
Enough said:
My trusty steed:
The sun rising over the moutains near Braemar where I camped:
A victory shot:
