No more midges for me!

Hopped on a train at plockton yesterday. Jumped off at Garve then cycled 15 miles to Dingwall. Im here to meet up with cyclists doing the national Audax - 400km/250 miles non stop and they will finish sometime between 4am and 1pm tomorrow. Denise and Steve have been doing the catering and invited me along for breakfast on the Sunday morning ie tomorrow. Went to see them off then discovered the Greenhouse communuty cafe and watched the torrential rain from inside whilst backing up photos on one of their laptops. They are having a sea and bea h awareness weekend with music and storytelling. Had a go on a tandem trike before it set off to do the Audax, thankfully with Judith on board behind Aiden not me! Cycling to inverness tomorrow. Finally joy of joys i can sit in the tent doorway, eat lunch and watch the rain without getting eaten alive by midges! Last two pics show the bike folded and tucked inside the tent and the tent zipped up snug against the rain
