Another great start to a day, riding alongside Loch Ness, though with more hills than you'd expect as the land rises quickly away from the shore.
At Milton we eschew the charms of the Loch Ness Monster Centre, cutting inland up the A833 to Dingwall. All purveyors of deep fried potato products in the town being shut for the day, we visit the Tesco cafe.
We follow the Cromarty Firth, then cut inland at Alness, through the hills to the breathtakingly beautiful Dornoch Firth.
Our overnight is a hostel at Carbisdale Castle, an Edwardian pile that's the jewel in SYHA's crown.
A short day, but it doesn't feel like it. 74 miles in 6.5 hours.
