Scapa Flow, Day 3… Wind Stops Play :(
by admin on Sep.23, 2009, under Diving
Great! As if I wasn’t nervous enough about getting back in the water already. Woke up this morning to a steady force 8 gusting to 9 and all diving cancelled.
A few of us went ona little drive, we first went out to the WWII Airfield, not much left there though. We explored the old control tower, found a few bomb shelters and the remains of what we think was possibly a cinema! Need to check that one outwhen I get back though.. Took some photos, need to edit them and upload them later.
From there we drove out to Skara Brae, an old Neolithic settlement. Not overly impressed with that though. I was more interested in the seals bobbing round in the huge surf. Back to Stromness for lunch then the rest of the day loafing
Forecast looks good for tomorrow though…
