Day Sixteen 9.8.10 Thurso to Oldham

Up at 5.30, breakfast at Ivordene B&B who would not take payment, insisting that I put the money towards my charity fund – what a wonderful gesture! It renews your faith in humanity. Got the 6.48 from Thurso, one cyclist was refused travel because she had not booked her bike on in advance. Changes at Inverness, Edinburgh and York got me in to Stalybridge only four minutes late. I was impressed with the whole rail organisation. Staff made things run efficiently despite how incredibly busy and hectic it was. A final twenty five minute bike ride got me home at 7.20pm. Job done!
