Unst
I am in the north.
I'm about a mile or two from the place where the highest wind speed was recorded in the UK. It got up to 172mph. Then the apparatus blew away.
There is a Viking longship down the road. And an ancient stone circle in the field next to the house.
I'm going to say that again. I have my own stone circle!
The stone circle isn't marked on the OS 1:50000 map, so it was a surprise.
Actually, the longship was a surprise too. I drove passed it without noticing, and only saw it when I looked out of the window.
I have seen oyster catchers, eider duck, plover, gannets (lots of gannets), fulmars, several kinds of gull, and several seals. Other things too, but I can't remember...
I sometimes have a phone signal, sometimes not. I can barely get Radio 4. But barely means I can still get it.
Tomorrow, I intend to be the most northerly person in the British Isles. For a short while.
