These are some things that inspire me and many visitors

## Sunsets

You will not see sunsets from Stromness except on the shortest days in Winter so worth a trip out to the Bay of Skaill or Birsay and the Ring of Brodgar.

## Marwick Head

Apart from the incredible sight of nesting birds – a seabird city, the memorial to the seamen who died on HMS Hampshire sunk by a German Mine in June 1916. Is a moving tribute.

## Water reflections

On a clear calm sunny day the movement of boats form a wake that comes ashore with an iridescent beautiful light and sounds against the shore

## Waves at Yesnaby

Even on a calm day the swell can bring about dramatic waves against the rocks an experience not to be missed.

## Walk to Warbeth Cemetery

The walk along the coast from the point of Ness campsite to the Cemetery is a a great walk with the Hoy hills in front of you. The headstones tell lots of stories.

## Ferry to Hoy

Take the ferry to Hoy on a fair day and walk to Rackwick bay
