It's definitely a chill-out day today on Orkney. Enjoying a summer's day in autumn!

The guiding season has started and despite it being late Spring we have had some amazing weather recently! Our South Hoy and Walls trip last week took us down to Longhope, with visits to the Napoleonic Hackness Martello Tower and Battery, Longhope Lifeboat Museum and the Longhope Lifeboat Memorial; it was on 17th March 1969, that the Longhope Lifeboat T.G.B. capsized in mountainous seas while on service to the Liberian vessel Irene. The lifeboat’s entire crew of eight lost their lives as they selflessly headed towards the cargo ship.

The cycling is easy on South Hoy, with gentle roads along the coastline and an abundance of wildlife and heritage to see. Total distance is 24 miles at an easy pace and with plenty of stops along the way.

Only a few more weeks before we are back on the beautiful island of Westray. 25 miles of easy cycling, puffins, gannets, sandy beaches, lighthouses, castles and sunshine (hopefully!). Places available.

Puffin photo-bomb warning 😁! It's not long before we restart our day trips on two wheels to Westray to see these amazing pelagic seabirds. We will guide you around the island, exploring the beautiful scenery and wildlife. This is definitely a 'bucket list' day out if you are visiting Orkney.
