Orkney Adventure 2024

It's blowing a absolutely hoolie up here in Birsay

We’re on the seafront near Stromness. 45mph winds, 10deg & heavy rain!
If the van carries on rocking around I’ll get seasick!

OK, am packing wooly hat, gloves and winter coat with lots of jumpers.

You’ll need them, I packed summer gear.
Luckily Alec lent me a heavy jumper.

I had to cancel my booking and was sad about that
Reading these posts makes me a little less sad
Keeping my powder dry for another year

It's about the same here up in Birsay.

Sat on ferry, wind has dropped and no rain.
That's the kiss of death for the crossing.
I'll find a large bag

The working archaelogical sites have combined traditional 'shovel and spade' work with LED illuminations; it's all very infra-dig ...
