Day 31 - Tongue to Strathy

Weather forecast looked OK this morning with a little wind growing in strength throughout the day. Possibility of showers later. 

Well what actually happened was squall after squall blowing in off the sea which meant continuos heavy rain and wind. Lots of lovely exposed hills!

I made it to within about 2 miles of the B and B before taking refuge in a phone box as I couldn't stand up in the wind. The kind owners took pity on me and came to pick me up before shoveling hot soup down me to help me thaw out. 

42 miles left to do and the wind should drop right off over night. So a quick run up the hill tomorrow to pick up the bike and I'll be hopefully all set for the grand finish.
