Bike ride today to find the secret bunker. I found it but as you get close there are cameras and don't dare go any further signs. So i didn't.
Then onto Overwater Marina.
Lots of MHs and Caravans on site. Lovely local and the pitches i saw were all hard standing with EHU but not sure if the ones in the field were.
Cafe Bridge 80 is licenced and the brekkie i had was spot on.
Nice ride.

Couple of small showers but having the right gear on no issues.

‘Ribbitt’………

 

[DerryW]

Cut the grass up the yard today, well when I say cut the grass only got about 3/4 done when got puncture on front wheel. Job for tomorrow get a new inner tube.

The VW in the photo is the one belonging to BiL, the very same one that’s had over £7k spent on it and still won’t start only if it’s given a squirt of easy start. If interested you’ll find all the details in an earlier thread. It’s a shame as it’s immaculate inside. BiL ask if he could put up my yard as he’s had enough of seeing every time he looks out his kitchen window.

Probably end up selling as a non runner.

Continuing our Scottish Odyssey...... (very photo heavy)

We did a few overnights on beach car parks around Orkney...
Dingieshowe Bay... (One of many such parkups)...

This one was on a causeway with a beach either side of the road. Toilets open 24/7.

Visited the Italian Chapel....

Shame this next door was closed!!

Friendly locals....

Had a look at St Margarets Hope to scope out the alternative ferry crossing to the Mainland.

Good to see my Wife's endeavours have been recognised!!

Our last night on Orkney we spent at the Great Western Car Park in Kirkwall where there are12 free designated bays...

Went for a walk around Kirkwall...
Nice wrap on a van belonging to the local Tweed shop (zoom in for effect)

Spotted an unusual sign in the public toilets...

Check out this video from this search, blackening in orkney islands https://share.google/8C7emPQi9AcmbTuOZ

Quiet night on the Loch beside the carpark..

Back on the Mainland, we overnighted at Brora again and had a walk to the beach...
One of several bridges where the River Brora, railway line and A9 intersect....

Actually I have to admit, it was my late brothers T shirt, he was 14 years older than me.

In 1970 he moved to Australia with his wife and young daughter, as one of the last £10 pommes, as a leaving present his work colleagues gave him a new slide rule, and he donated his old one, which had seen him through school and collage, which was nearly worn out to me.

I did learn how to use it at the time, but soon lapsed as calculators came along, and at some point it went missing.

But going through his things, I came across the slide rule he had been given, that I know that he used regularly throughout his electronics career, he always swore he could do a lot of things faster, than using a calculator.

So I have decided to try and teach myself how to use one again.
