Started off with sun and then a heavy shower before we left Baile an Or for Wick. First stop, Berridale Harbour with its folly, rickety suspension bridge and row of old fisher cottages:
Next up, Dunbeath Harbour:
Latheron Wheel was the final ‘harbour’ theme location for the day. Spot the van competition again:
Harbours done. Walligoe steps was next in line. The cove was used in the past to deliver herring to the local community; the fishermen would arrive and unload to the women who would carry the fish loads back to the top. All 309 steep steps to the top…!
Just got back to the top before the next hail storm landed.
After a brief lunch stop in the van, the Old Pulteney Distillery was our next target where ‘some items’ were bought 😀
The Old Castle of Wick was not on the original schedule, but squeezed in to kill a bit of time for our check-in at Wick Riverside Campsite. The wind must have been blowing a steady 40-odd mph so we didn’t hang about!
Finally, we rolled into Wick and the Riverside Campsite. An immaculate site with fantastic facilities.
Great pics
So far so good my bonny travellers,
Looking forward to the next leg from J ‘O’ Groats to Thurso etc
