it's been a while since i last went a'wildernessing and i hadn't realised just how much i missed the outdoors. also hadn't realised how extremely unfit i'd be and oh boy my muscles aren't the happiest today. fitness whinge aside, i've come to really look forward to these stolen moments - the weekends away with some of my favourite people and getting more of this fantastic country under my belt. without a car (ok, the mister has one but i loathe driving) and sense of solo adventure, the only way to traipse around the UK is on the pretext of "medicine". we went to holy island on saturday (the tidal crossing is hilarious btw, the causeway is so low-lying that it's flooded when the tide's come in...) and had to leave bright and early to beat the tide to the castle. once on the island, we were kinda trapped till evening when the water receded. but no fear! being trapped on holy island just meant whiling the afternoon away at the pub. no complaints :)
