The journey north

The pick  up  in  Rugby went off very smoothly and I have 3 pendants and 2 chains to show for my journey up there, because I stopped off and did a little shopping with a friend from school, Wendy Warren.  She has a website for her jewellery, and her stuff is absolutely gorgeous!
Traffic on the M6 was horrendous (what a non-surprise), but I was very happy to be going northbound - south was much much worse.
We spent the night just north of Gretna.   Yo Scotland!  I haven't been here since 1976!  This was our first night ever in a lay by, and went really well too,  but I confess there is a Britstop a couple of miles away just in case we didn't like it.
The layby that hosted our first night of Wild Camping






The onward journey from Gretna to John O'Groats was uneventful and we arrived early afternoon.
