- Description
- A splendid walk from the rather splendid Rackwick to the rather superb Old Man of Hoy. The cliff next to the Old Man was rather scary so I went nowhere near it. I liked our guide book's suggestion that "For walkers wanting a less nerve-shredding but equally unimpeded view [walk] 200 yards towards St John's Head, where the cliffs are a little less, well, edgy". So we did.
