The old man of Houton is watching the ferry being loaded and prepared to leave terminal for Hoy.
Hoy?
Hoy is the second biggest island of Orkney. Literally two big mountains south of Mainland in the sea. There are two shipping routes connecting Hoy to the Orkney Mainland. This pic shows carferry @ Houton. Ferry travel to southhalf of the island - a place called Lyness.
It is a 2 hours cycling to drive the distance Kirkwall to Houton. I find it a perfect tour to start after breakfast in Kirkwall, cycle to Houton change over to Lyness, paddlebike to Moaness, cross Scapa Flow again to Stromness, passing the stones of Brodgar etc. and be back in Kirkwell for a biiiiig dinner.
