Mingulay Washout

After last year’s amazing trip to Pabbay we thought we’d follow that up with a trip to Mingulay for more awesome climbing on another mythical uninhabited island in the Scottish Outer Hebrides…

More wet adventures in Iceland

Wednesday, 21st August 2013

Sight-seeing around Iceland continued for another day, this time with visits to the Skaftafell National Park and then to JÃ¶kulsÃ¡rlÃ³n. We arrived at Skaftafell to rain and fog and ‘enjoyed’ a very damp meal of sweet and sour noodles with about 50 other people under a very crowded shelter. The next morning we awoke to …

He frequently goes to take wonderful photographs, not only of birds but anything he finds interesting. I thought he could share one of his recent trips here. As his English is not that strong yet, he asked me to …
