I've recently retired and I've been doing long distance walks for some years now - this one is the biggest yet though.

Ciao Orkneys

I can't resist the update - I really wanted to share the beauty of this place with you!


Just had two fantastic days in the Orkney Isles - a fascinating place!

Skara Brae

Went to a stone age village called Skara Brae, all round Scapa Flow over the Churchill Barriers ...


One of the Churchill Barriers
...and finally to an Italian Chapel built by prisoners of war.  The history on these islands knocks your socks off - do follow the links!


Esteriore

Interiore 
It'll soon be time to make a move homewards, travelling slowly down the west coast of Scotland.

If you check back in a week or so there may be another update for you!  In the meantime do please browse the blog and follow the links that you may have missed first time around.

Much love to you all. xx
