Orkney
Snow 2006
I put a few photos up in a news page yesterday, but we had a walk this afternoon and had to take some photos... Click for a bigger and better image. |

We
took a walk up Gorseness Hill |
where
the snow depth was unpredictable |
 |
 |
 |
so
we tried to find the deep (but safe) parts. |
The
route to the next hill, Enyas Hill. |
involves
negotiating
barriers. I went over, |
 |
 |
 |
but
Jenny took
the lower route. |
We'll
exercise our right to roam! |

Looking
towards Stromness and Hoy |
There
are plans to put wind turbines up here. The turbines of Burgar
Hill are in the background. |
The
foundations for the trig point look dodgy |
 |
 |
 |
but
took our weight as we were buffeted by |
the
northerly wind |
In
these photos I'm trying to show the wind blown snow... |

Our
bungalow hiding behind our neighbour |
Our
organic lawn aerater was busy when we returned. |
