Skeld to Sandness

A wonderful sunset at Sandness on west mainland yesterday evening, but then the mist started rolling in and we thought it would be ruined. Instead of that however it simply looked stunning, rolling in over Papa Stour.  


We went to bed on a drizzly but very still  Sunday evening, quite close to the water by the pier at West Burrafirth but we woke in the morning, beside this bus stop which was about 5 miles away!  During the night, it blew up a howler so in fear of our lives we decided to 'up anchor' and relocate to somewhere more sheltered. Ah, the perils of wild camping!



Our new location might not be so scenic but at least it was safe!


One of the lovely old water mills at Sandness, used to grind flour


A shot almost into the sun but I still like it!


Enjoying some lovely late afternoon sunshine at Sandness



I think this could be an Otter's creek, as we found a 'haul out' spot with broken sea urchins, close by.
