| Day trip from Stromness. Pleasant walk round the island to bag this hill, the 2 lighthouses, and half a dozen benchmarks. A leisurely 10k over 4 hrs. | jonglew | 29/07/2022 |
| Chilly weather but dry. Cycled (with kids in buggy behind bike to near summit). Left them with Sarah and quickly bagged summit. Summit bag had been done after visiting both lighthouses. Nice island and the bonus was the heating in the waiting room. | assynt_bob | 31/03/2018 |
| Hastily arranged pm trip to Graemsay after the haar came in and scuppered our planned Copinsay boat trip. With the Mackays, Jon Metcalf et al. Grass damp so I mostly kept to the road. Farmer on big tractor stopped by to tell me about the corncrake, first they've had for a while. Found me again later to see if I'd heard it (sadly not). | RHW | 03/06/2014 |
