Then the long slog up the A9. Very busy road and it started to rain heavly.
Got bored with the A9 and pulled of onto a few b roads.
The rain stopped and the sun came out as we pulled into Elgin.
260 miles from Belfast.

So that ended Thursday and left a few days to explore.
The weather forcast told us very little so we just got on the bikes and followed the blue sky north along the coast from Dornoch.
Watched the seals for a few minutes

Great trip, very little rain, 90% dry roads.
Better than expected before leaving home.
