Up track from Blett, then easy slopes from where track turns sharply north. | KeithByTheC | 20/06/2021 |
Walked up with L from the sea at Mail after visiting the small beach and cemetery. Area of extensive systematic peat removal at top of track -a huge area has has been scraped bare - I think a relic from the 1980s when although peat use for heating & cooking was declining (due to oil, gas & electricity) those still using it were less inclined to dig it themselves- and machinery could strip it commercially in large quantities. Nowadays the value of peat as a carbon sink are championed as with the peat restoration funding on Shetland -but too late for this bald patch. | Chris Pearson | 02/05/2021 |
ACW circuit of Scroo, Holm Field & Royl Field, starting from Peat Quarry 4144 2960). Track to quarry is a bit rough - would not have taken my car (Jazz), but OK in Dave's 4WD. Windy grey day, but tops clear - nice circuit. | ger | 12/06/2019 |
