Day 4 Bonar Bridge to Inverness - 105 kms'

I'm now familiar with the cycling term sore bum after we spent 8+ hours on the saddle yesterday.

A combination of strong winds and rain made progress pretty painful although Michael took great delight in reminding me that it was nowhere near as bad as his ride in Tibet in 2010 ... I dont give a %%£$% !

Finally reached sight of the Forth of Firth near I|nverness when things got even worse when apparent we were hopelessley lost taking the wrong route when we saw signs indicating we were cycling away from Inverness !

Once back on track we crossed the bridge in gale force winds that threatened to pick us up and dump us some 200 metres below into the river ! To tops things off we  made Inverenss just in time to get dumped upon (rain) and then proceeded to get lost one more time trying to find our accommodation.

Despite the trial and tribulations all is well - a rest today - 300 + kms now gone but a real hard one  tomorrow over the Mtns to Timonotoul. Stay Well !
