I'm re-reading the Ann Cleeves 'Shetland' Books, so I'll be staying on the mainland until the murder rate drops below that of Midsomer ...

Morning is there any meet up areas this time? I think last time we did a stop over at the car park at the British legion in Wick, they very kindly opened the bar for us ?

I think that was the time the we were plagued all evening by the attentions of a local campsite owner, who said we had no right to use a public car park and instead we should be using the local campsite which he forgot to mention he owned.
I had to walk him around the corner and ask him which bit of the Public Car Park sign he didn’t understand. He promised to report us to the Council, first thing in the morning, but it was nice to get hot air so far North.

We are normally in Scotland in September and October haven't been up there so early in many years
It's just occurred to us there should be quite a few Puffins about in June!

On the way home we will probably divert to Duncansby Head or even our favourite Puffin spot Cape Wrath, but any suggestions where to see them on the Island?

I am not sure, I am planning on going to Findhorn beach on the way up but otherwise will probably just check on Brit Stops and other apps for overnight parking

The last time we had a meet on Orkney I stayed behind & got the ferry to Westray where we stayed for a few nights & saw 100s of puffins.
Pleasantly suprised at the cost of the ferry also, seem to remember it was around £55 for a journey of 1.1/2 hours for a 5mtr campervan.

I'll also be going over on the 12th, two weeks is not really enough to discover the Orkneys, after the. last meet my wife & I took the ferry to Westray where we saw loads of puffins.
This year I hope to make it to Hoy.

Don't say 'the Orkneys' as it is known as Orkney. You don't want to upset locals. Enjoy your trip.

We've paid £115 return tickets for 2 people + 6m campervan, so not bad at all.

Last time up here many of us stayed at the car park by the river in Riverside Road in Thurso, a stone's throw from the ferry at Scrabster.
We were welcomed at the nearby British Legion where we were able to purchase reasonably priced drinks.
