The Scottish Trip

I'm headed off on my second tour of the summer. An old acquaintance of mine, who goes by the name of Rich has asked me to accompany him on the 6,000Km North Sea Cycle route.
6,000Km is rather a lot to do in one sitting, so we're starting by taking the train deep into the Scottish highlands, heading to John O' Groats (the most northerly point on the British main-land, and then cycling south (as far as we can get in a week).
