The guidebook describes this as not suitable for children or dogs and we had two (I'll let you decide who they are...)!
A glorious walk along cliff edges where sometimes you hang onto the fence because the drop is so close! The 40mph winds never really happened - it was just a classic windy coastal walk with the wind in the right direction.
We met up with Geoff at a couple of points which helped progress a lot - hot drinks and food! Again, our heavy sacks were in the van and Barney carried nothing - he loved it!
Then, after a long day, we arrived at John O' Groats and... surprise, surprise, Kay, Nigel & Guide dog Jackie appeared at the end! They'd travelled all the way up from Falmouth to greet us! They saw us off at Land's End and I remember Nigel saying 'we might get up to John O'Groats to greet you' but never really expected it, as it is a 900 mile trip (don't we know)! He even posted Facebook posts to make it look as though they were still at home! What a finish - even the sun was shining!
