Wednesday 7th August. An afternoon walk from Catfirth in South Nesting in Shetland, around the shore to Stendhal, including a walk around Little Holm which is an island at the top of the tide twice a day. Distance: 5.1 miles including the road walk back to the car.
Thursday 8th August. Took most of the day to walk from Stendhal in South Nesting (where I ended yesterday's walk) around the shore to Eswick - by way of Gletness, the Gloup of Gletness, Aswick and the Moull of Eswick, - ending at the beautiful sand and shingle beach at Es Wick. Wonderful cliffs, geos, storm beaches, rocky hills, seals, an otter. Distance: 11.4 miles.
I realise that these place names will mean very little to most people so I'll post grid refs in future so anyone and in possession of digital mapping can look it up. There are also websites with pics. I'm currently (very gradually) walking around the coastline of all of the permanently inhabited islands in Shetland and am thinking about logging my adventures on the Long Distance Walks strand where I could go into more detail and provide photographs and even drawings and watercolours.
