19th September 2021 – 52 Miles
It was an overcast start to the day with lots of low whispy clouds hanging in the view from the cottage.
Our first visit of the day was to Lybster Harbour just a short drive from the cottage. It is quite a small harbour with a little white lighthouse and beach.
Next we tried to find Whalligoe Steps, did get to the small car park but there was only spaces left for resident parking and was very windy so wasn’t able to stay.
Headed further north onto Wick we made a stop at Superdrug and picked up some sunscreen – bet it will be cold and wet the rest of the holiday now!
Time to try and track down old Wick castle, we didn’t look for it yesterday. Was bit of a bother, Sat Nav and signposts didn’t get us there lucky Gavin’s phone knew the way, but boy was it bumpy. A really long rough track and both our bits were feeling a little bruised by the time we go there 🙁 Old Wick Castle itself was disappointing, it was cold and raining too.
We bumped our way back down the uneven track and had a trip to Tesco to stock up.
Then back to Wick, again, to get pizza take away to take back to the cottage with us, though we think we got given the wrong order as it had olives on it and we ordered a veggie one! Do veggie pizza’s normally have olives?
There was a lovely sunset over Loch Rangag, which is the loch we can see in front of our cottage this week.
