Day twelve 1410km down 190km to go

Hi its Charlotte writing the blog today for a change. I wrote the blog yesterday as well as Adam had fallen asleep so thought I would own up to this one. We woke up to rain this morning which looked pretty set for most of the day. It had been raining all night so the tent was pretty wet to pack away. Once we had finally gotten ourselves sorted we began the journey along cycle route 7. Little did we realise this would take us on a very scenic if not very long route to Inverness. After climbing on a mixture of on and off road routes we reached 1500ft above sea level we finally reached the scottish highlands  for a customary photo.  
Not only is this trip challenging but it is also educational. We have passed many historical features and even visited a castle and burial mound today.  Its not all fun and games!!
We have also seen lots of cows. This one was also enjoying the view from the castle, although she wasn't meant to be there.

150km later ( yes it was possible to have an even longer day than yesterday) we reached  inverness for some well deserved dinner. We also managed to find a hostel to stay in, in the centre of inverness. Just what we needed to dry out after a long day on wet roads. Sweet dreams all.
