I slept upstairs again last night. -3 is starting to feel quite mild!
We went to find the promised showers in the community centre. The sign said to knock on the door of the house opposite for the key, which was cute. Anyway, the showers were out of action as the pipes were frozen. Good job I’d had a strip wash in the van, but Graham wasn’t happy!
I was glad also that I had filled up the water tank last night because the tap at the harbour was now frozen too. We did find another and so I topped off before venturing further beyond civilisation. Annoyingly, I reversed over my funnel leaving the parking space but I’ll try to repair it later.
We ticked off the remaining sights of Helmsdale: the war memorial (imposing), the emigrants memorial (sobering) and the plaque commemorating when they knocked down the castle to build a new road bridge in the ‘70’s (amusing and sad)!
