A walk on the Ness of Hillswick: Splendid Isolation

The Hillswick Ness circular walk is one of the finest coastal routes in the UK. It has everything - huge cliffs, spectacular sea stacks, archaeology, a lighthouse, all kinds of wildlife including otters and a variety of seabirds. It starts next to our house. Tonight I took my allotted daily walk along the first section. The fulmars have started nesting. Spring is more than on its way. It's here. Nobody else was.
