Orkney

I had arrived in John o'Groats ahead of schedule so had a couple of days to entertain myself. Today I took the pedestrian ferry (bikes taken too) over to South Ronaldsay, and had time to ride up to set wheel on the mainland. I went to an excellent fossil and heritage museum on Burray, which had an exhibition on the Churchill Barriers about which I was wholly ignorant - it made riding over them a different experience. Really windy; hat and coat required on the ferry crossing and I had to turn the tent around a bit when I got back as the wind direction had changed.
