After Davie enthusiastically show me (Daniel) the view of the steps
from the opposite side of the inlet, we were on the road heading for
the top of mainland Britain...
...Well here we are at Dunnet Head the most northern point in mainland
Britain. It is a beautiful clear day of which we are heading off on a
Puffin shooting mission - with the camera of course. Marea has moved
on from robins and is now chasing puffins and refuses to leave without
a photo.
She being she, climbed the fence that was stopping people going too
close to the edge of the cliffs to get a better view.
Ahh but we found puffins!!! And whats more, they were sitting on the
cliffs edge only about 5 metres from us. It was very cool just lying
down on the cliff pearing over at them, they were just going about
their nesting business. We felt a bit like David Attenbrough or Steve
Irwin getting all excited over two animals just sitting around.
Next we dipped our feet into the cool North Sea at Dunnet Bay. This
was a very large sandy beach so we started one of those walks that
just keep going and going until we finally got to the end of the bay.
Marea's seaweed phobia was gently stirred up with 'carpets' of the
slimy stuff in parts. So much so that she donned her footwear as to
not have to feel it underfoot. Daniel thoughly enjoyed inventing
stories about seaweed monsters which seem to growl in English
