This is the moment fundraising cyclist Ben Hallam from Dornoch pedalled triumphantly back into the town at the end of his gruelling, non-stop NC500 challenge.
Ben made it back to Dornoch at around 11.45pm last night after setting off at 4.56am the day before.
His wife Hazel told the Northern Times: "The total time was 41.08 hours and cycling time 35.07 hours."
Ben, a keen cyclist, had estimated that it would take him at least 40 hours to complete the 516-mile route and supporters followed his progress via a live tracker.
He said the longest ride he had previously undertaken had been 250 miles.
As he reached the town square, he was given a rousing welcome by family and friends who clapped and cheered.
Mr Hallam is raising money for Reverse Rett, a charity that funds research to find a cure for Rett Syndrome, a rare, non inherited neurological order.
His nine-year-old son Finn is also undertaking a challenge of his own - running 50 miles in July in aid of Assynt Mountain Rescue Team.
