Thanks Andi for your nice comment. As you know that week's weather was terrible, there was only one day I had a chance. I woke up at 2am, went to the Storr and in sometimes complete darkness I found my way up, only to find out The Old Man and his rocky friends were shrouded in fog.

One day I may get there but for now I'll have to make do with looking at pictures like this one. In case you didn't know, this place also features in the film Prometheus.

Ha, something told me I'd see The Old Man of Storr this week (Kees). Nothing so glamorous from me and kudos for making the trip up there.
