North from Altnaharra down the Naver valley to Betty Hill and my first glimpse of the northern coast of Scotland.
Empty beaches, towering cliffs and the northern ocean stretching away - next landfall Iceland.
Early arrival at the splendid Strathy Inn and a walk out to the lighthouse at Strathy Point - and an extraordinary panorama of the northern coast.
Later an in-depth discussion in the inn's bar between landlord and two friendly bikers on the benefits of Avon 'Skin so Soft' as a near-miraculous midge-repellant.
