So we made it up to Caithness. The road was good. We were once more surprised at how serious the Britts are about those traffic cones. They not only mark the way with them, they litteraly build walls with those things…
Before arriving in the UK, we have been worried about the fuel shortage, we read about in the news. This is why we decided to first leave the bigger cities behind us, before trying to find diesel. Turns out, there was no problem really. The very first gas station we tried, had fuel and not even a line of waiting cars. So we took that for a favorable sign and continued our journey north.
Loch Watenan welcomed us with some rain but also with the most heartwarming hello from our neightbours.
Having learned from our last trip, we did NOT try to drive on our plot by night without knowing the state of the ground. This is why we stayed over the night on the parking space south of the lake.
The night was calm and clear, allowing us to see an amazing starry sky.
(OK, you might need some imagination for that one…)
And right now, the day is breaking in a breathtaking manner on Loch Watenan…
