Everything about the book and exhibition is to be admired, not least the creative twosome.

Land's End to John o'Groats – Day 74: Wick to John o'Groats, 22 miles. 1,259.95 miles and done. Beautiful weather to finish the walk I started in March. A fab last day of castles, brochs, empty bays and amazing cliffs. Now... beer, bath, bed.

Great things are done when men's sights are set on great adventures. Well done those poles. I was so pleased to know the weather was set to be good today. Back to the clag tomorrow!

Land's End to John o'Groats – Day 72: Berriedale to Occumster, 17 miles. 1220.2 miles to date. Seabirds, seals, caves, sea stacks, secluded harbours… And precisely no-one on the trail! Another great day on the J o'G Trail, even if I’m starting to fight to get in while it’s light

Land's End to John o'Groats – Day 73: Occumster to Wick, 17.75 miles. 1237.95 miles to date. Old herring stations, the incredible Whailgoe steps, seals by the hundred, dolphins, geos, stacks and sea arches in the most remote day yet of the JoG Trail. This is a place of magic.

Land's End to John o'Groats – Day 71: Helmsdale to Berriedale, 10.5 miles. 1203.2 miles to date. Totally enchanting (and short) day along the John o' Groats Trail, which gets better every day north.

Beacon Hill, looking westwards along the line of hills; Sidown, Pilot and Walbury. This was an intensely significant area 2,000 years ago and it is heartening to see the wildlife starting to recover after the hot summer.

Land's End to John o'Groats – Day 68: Evanton to Tain, 17.8 miles. 1150.9 miles to date. Evoking the kind of diary entry I might have made aged 6: "Boring walk. It rained." Two highlights – huge numbers of geese overhead; and lovely Tain.

Land's End to John o'Groats – Day 65: Invermoriston to Drumnadrochit, 14.3 miles. 1091.7 miles to date. A short and varied day along the Great Glen Way. The trail is varied – the High Level option is great – and is so obviously cared for.
