Ready to go

The obligatory picture at the John O'Groats Hotel signpost. You're only allowed to cross the chain and stand by it if you pay the fella for an official picture. He was just in the process of putting up the direction boards which they meanly remove each night so you can't take your own piccie. We managed to plan an extra 100 miles in over the 874 signed here - think that assumes you go on the motorways. James appears to be smiling but he is actually shivering. It was freezing cold and lashing down with rain so the camera does lie sometimes.
