One foot in the Atlantic
One foot in the Atlantic
This was taken an hour or so after our successful 23 day trek of the Cape Wrath Trail on our route back to camp at Sandwood Bay. We'd had seven days unbroken sunshine and stopped to dangle our feet off the 100m cliffs with the Atlantic Ocean calm below us. The guy in the photo is Russell Matthews, my walking partner.
The Square is correct (I think) though the exact grid reference is harder to pinpoint. You'll have to go there to prove me wrong. It'll be worth your while.
