HY5401 : Touch and Go

taken 12 years ago, near to Upper Sanday, Mainland, Orkney Islands, Scotland

Touch and Go
Touch and Go
The normally awash rocks at the end of the Kame of Camy - see here HY5301 : Sea Stack.
I was struggling with the GPS and rising waves but made it into the almost-last ungeographed land-Square on Orkney Mainland.
In only by a few metres but nevertheless IN!

Seen on the horizon is Copinsay
