Great Paddling

A really quick post as I am in Shetland. Wonderful place, far more interesting and colourful than I had expected.

Arrived on Sunday and went over to Noss, what amazing cliffs and bird life. The Gannet colony was huge and lots of lovely Puffins. I am a sucker for Puffins. Yesterday it was off to the west and a late start to paddle Muckle Roe. This meant that the tide was out for the westerly section of the island so we could get into ALL of the caves. Just the most amazing caves, it is a bit strange weaving about inside the island... WOW

Today it was a bit farther north to Eshaness, along passed the Drongs, what an amazing coastline. The blowholes to the north of the lighthouse are just incredible.

Shetland is amazing not just from a kayak but from the land as well. Well worth a visit.

Off paddling tomorrow before heading on the 5pm ferry to Orkney for a couple of days

bwaaa....

I've got a horrid cold, sneezing, coughing and spluttering.... doubt if there will be much action this weekend. What amazing weather we are having. Yet another lovely day today .... long may it continue
