Welcome to the part 4 of my NC Wild Bike Packing Adventure as i cycle over 500 mile around the North Coast of Scotland raising money for the Trussell Trust Charity.
Day 7 I leave St Johns point and travel to Puffin Cove stopping at a few wonderful beaches along the way a distance just over 20 miles
Day 8 Leaving Puffin Cove and heading for Farr Bay with the most stunning beaches and views along the way.
A series of videos i am putting out as part of the Epic Adventure i planned to cycle the NC 500. I wanted to give you all the best footage that i have so you get a good insight to what the NC 500 is like.
This was a big challenge to plan and undertake, i was on my own but did check in with family to say i was ok and reached each camp spot.
I planned every route in detail with OS Maps
