Well the day of departure had arrived. Up to pack the tents and then into Stromness before catching the ferry. The benefit of going from Stromness is that you get good views of the Old Man of Hoy. I must say I really liked Stromness - lovely building and atmosphere - and obviously an interesting history from the number of blue plaques on houses! I wish I'd spotted the one for Mrs Humphrey's House: temporary hospital 1835-1836 for scurvy ridden whale men who'd been trapped in the ice for months.
