A 17 kilometre loop that took me from the centre of Wick to Noss Head. First I followed the cliff path to North Head and onto Staxigoe and its harbour. From Staxigoe I picked up the John o’Groats Trail following a cliffside path to Noss Head and its lighthouse with sweeping views across Sinclair Bay. From Noss Head I walked to the ruins of Sinclair Castle before returning to Wick by an inland route. Blue skies and a gusty wind made for a bracing walk.
