Day 12 Update

Day 12 of Lavinia’s Road Trip for Reclaim Life was another busy day. In the morning, it was time to leave Ullapool for the day’s journey further north to Wick. It was a steep climb for Lavinia but she made it with no problems. On the A835, heading north and later east toward Lairg, the weather started to look a bit bleak. Whilst it wasn’t raining, a recurring problem with a leak at the top of the radiator where the bonnet hinge screws on certainly made it look like it was! A bit more fettling should hopefully fix that.

Onto the A837 and it was a bit of a bumpy ride (especially over the cattle grids). Upon reaching Lairg it was time to join the A839 and then join the A9. Lavinia was motoring along like a beauty throughout the day; she was well and truly flying the flag for the Talbot 14/45! The gorse alongside the A9 was also blooming lovely and it wasn’t long before Lavinia, Harry and Paul cruised through Port Gower village. Finally it was onto Wick, their final destination for the day.

Lavinia, Harry and Paul arrived in Wick in good time. In the evening there was a talk arranged in the Camps Bar to hopefully inspire others to bring Reclaim Life into their local community.
