After ten days of more or less rain, the cleaning was over by 1000 hours thanks to 10% cloud cover – in truth a beautiful clear day but with a biting northerly wind. Calum’s road (see www.ctc-maps.org.uk/routes/route/570) was the chosen route; a mere 16.5 miles there and back with 11 (or is that 22?) arrows. At the far end (Arnish) we visited Calum’s house before doing the Fladday circuit on foot. At least three cars passed us with another ten parked at either Brochel or Arnish. To complete a busy picture we met 3 walkers and 4 MTBers who were on a similar outing to ours. Judging by the tyre marks, they had ridden short sections of the Fladday circult and walked the rest. No punters after tomorrow so we may be in for a quiet end to our stay.
