Caithness, Orkneys, Shetlands
Chris Muris
I'm travelling to and will be based near Wick, Kirkwall and Lerwick to walk three more of the UK's 91 old county tops and to explore some of what else these three areas have to offer eg other walks, bird reserves, most northerly golf course, archaeological sites, the Shetland folk festival and so on.
OD members are most welcome to join up with me during any of the days I'm there and plan joint activities. The days ex arriving and leaving inclusive are Wick 11-15 April, Kirkwall 16-24 April, Lerwick 25 April - 5 May 2025.
Members will arrange own transport and accommodation as needed/ desired. I will have a car which seats driver + 6 to get around at the locations and there's plenty of other transport on/ between the islands.
Please message to meet once at a location. No need to contact beforehand unless you wish. Will be fun!

Ward Hill, 481m, the top of the Orkneys. Requires a ferry to island of Hoy, then 8km each way. A slog through thick heather and up steep slopes is needed for the prize: a stupendous view accross islands and ocean, one of the finest vistas from any of the 91 county tops. (Jonny Muir)
