LEJOG Day 26
I am of the final stages of the LEJOG.
Lairg was quiet at night and turned out to be even more quiet during the day. I was able to get breakfast at the Hotel as a ‘non resident’. As far as I could see there were precious few ‘residents’. I would have expected that the owners would have been pleased to get some custom. I guess I was hoping for too much.
I head north towards Tongue. Unlike any other two days on this trip, the scenery on this day and the day before was pretty much the same.
I stopped for tea and scones in pub in middle of nowhere. I chatted to a couple on Adventure Bikes – he on a BMW GS 1200 and she on Honda 850. I can’t get over the number of these bike getting around.
The ride into Tongue was a bit tough as I was heading into the wind.
After stopping more tea, in Tongue I head East along the coast. The wind seemed to have turned easterly. Now that is unfair.
Around 6.30 pm. I arrived in Bettyhill. That was far enough. The camping ground was virtually empty. The owner blamed the “Government raising the price of fuel.
