Lovely pictures Richard - and nice to see the Old Man from a different angle - we walked to it from Rastwick a couple of years ago as we had taken the car over to Lyness. My dad was stationed in Orkney for the early months of WW2 and we combined a half day walk to the Old Man with a bit of history.
We too had wonderful weather, and, it being April, it was quiet, and so beautiful. Interesting rock tomb, the dwarfie stane, just off the road back to Moaness, from where we spotted sea eagles. Fantastic day out in the most wonderful scenery. I hope your move goes well (in the end) but I bet you'll miss Orkney too.
