Day one hundred and thirty nine - Kirkwall to Rousay

16th July.

A dry start to the day but the clouds were low and threatening. A few showers later on.

A straightforward walk along minor roads today starting off around the back of Wideford Hill.
Arrived at Finstown and found an unexpected burger van, very useful!
There was a campervan for sale at the garage, rusty but cheap, tempted......
Continuing the minor road theme there is a small road that runs parallel to the coast and takes you directly to Tingwall and the ferry.

I wanted to go to Wyre but to do that you have to book the day before, so I went to Rousay instead.
The little campsite was full of archaeologists so I headed up the coast to the north end of the island and found a good spot looking down at Rousay Sound.

19.5 miles walked 400 meters ascent.

To be honest, I would not buy a car from an island,- no wonder it was rusty with the proximity of salt water. Andy
