I got up and packed today then started my journey north to central west chunk of Shetland. It admittedly took longer than planned to adventure here, so I totally missed Deepdale.
I finally found a Twatt sign! I looked around but I couldn't see anyone familiar here 😄.
Both Shetland and Orkney have a village called Twatt... I only knew of 1 before this trip.
I visited Raewick Beach which has unusually red sand. This was fine stone crumbled off the red cliffs and seabed in the area. Never seen such red beaches before.
Then I headed on to Culswick and the cliff area of Wester Skeld. The coastlines are so dramatic on Shetland! There's a fair bit of walking involved though. I'm averaging around 8 miles walking per day 😮.
Finally a rode up to Eshaness and my wigwam at Braewick. I have the best view from up here! The wigwam looks right onto the impressive stacks and cliffs of Eshaness. LOVE IT!
Can't wait to explore this area over the next 2 days, it's amazing.Read more
