The final day of the trip and the final hills, one of which was a Marilyn. Over the next few days I will reflect on the whole trip and post a couple of blogs with my thoughts on the whole experience.
My conclusion to the adventure was a couple of easy hills near to Dingwall, as this was sort of on the way back to Inverness to catch the Caledonian Sleeper Train south.
Hills have a habit of providing the unexpected. I was using the mountain bike and had nearly reached the first summit when the bike chain snapped and I didn't have the required repair kit. First things first! I walked to the top of the two summits.
It was about 5 miles back to Dornoch and most of it was downhill which I freewheeled. Exhilarating!
