If you're lame it's a good excuse but if you're sober you have to go ;-)
It's the birthplace of the perfect Talisker you know. :-0___

HP is very good indeed, but the highest point on (in?) Orkney is just 1577
ft. Not a very re'ward'ing hill. You'll have to take a bottle of HP to the
BC of S than :-)

Ah, well, y'see a bit of cross-interest comes to play here; there's
the Old Man of Hoy to play with, defintely much better than sheep
spotting... after that there's Scapa Flow!! Walking would come a
distant third-choice option for me if faced with those two :-)
(no offence mind you ;-)

Tried to reply via email but hey ho...

Ahh yes, my spiritual home. It is a bit of an annual pilgrimage for
me. I haven't got up there this year but I had a really good excuse -
I was in Malta. Getting out of the flow and up to the Northern Isles
and Shetland is really good too.

It rewarded me alright, part of one of the best walks I have done..

Along with Cuileags and the coast from Rackwick.
