After almost 500 miles and 10 hours in the car we arrived in John O'Groats from Manchester. The weather on the way up was OK, the weather in JOG is truly awful. 9 degrees C and a wind that can knock you off your feet! In the wind it's is seriously cold. The hope is that the storm will clear by morning. We are hopeful! Everything is crossed.
We did pop out to Duncansby Head to see the lighthouse, if I can get the photos uploaded the strength of the wind is clear to see!
The big debate in the car was what sub titles we were allowed to use in our blogs! Some of the choices are The Arse and Ale Report, The Beer and Rear report or the Cask and Crack report! Tomorrows blog will let you know which one I am allowed to use! Having said that getting a signal here is as easy as getting a sun tan and tomorrow we are staying at the most remote pub in Britain. So unlikely to get a signal, and unlikely to get a sun tan!
Talking about beer it's McEwans 80 shillings and is slipping down a treat!
So let's hope the storm passes and another pint arrives shortly!
this is a bit concerning chaps, it is 10.15, dark and no comments on your blog!
ReplyDeletestill going or actually being blown backwards?
or more likely still in the pub from last night with the '80 shillings slipping down a treat'.
Look forward to hearing an update and good luck stout warriors of the road.
