After such a long day yesterday, we had a late start and a big breakfast :)
Inverness to Altnaharra
Distance: 69.27 miles
Time: 7 hours 4 minutes
Ave Speed: 12.0 mph
Max Speed: 35.8 mph

We managed to avoid much of the slog along the A9 by following a lovely cycle route and after crossing the Cromathy Firth, Dave noticed a strange shaped rock - it's a seal!
We then took a left turn and headed off into the hills...
We made good time getting to Lairg, where we "Nipped Inn" for some food and a short break.
Shortly after leaving Lairg the A-road turned into a single track for the rest of the way to Altnaharra. The section of road from the Crask Inn is the best road I have ever cycled on. I covered 9 miles in 14 minutes! These were the roads that I had been hoping for - Scotland hasn't failed to deliver :)
We came skidding to a halt outside the Altnaharra B&B, where we were looked after very well!
