Dunnet Head - Pugsley - June 21 and June 22 2014

Dunnet Head - Pugsley - June 21 and June 22 2014


I got out this afternoon for a few miles round Dunnett head following the fire breaks and sheep tracks around the cliffs. A lot of climbing, a good bit of descending, a huge storm shower as well as a few sections that were very close to the edge. Unfortunately my camera batteries kept dying and shutting down but got a few pics. The cliffs were full of turns, razorbills, skuas and the remaining scatterings of Puffins. A nice ride.

Back up to Dunnett Head this morning, inspired by Bruce, aka Coastkid from the Fatbike Forums blog, though only had a tight schedule as Heather was working this afternoon.
After a fair bit of rain this morning my window for ride was narrowing and ended up only out for just over an hour and a half. Originally wanted to do the west side this time but due to limited time this was left for a later date as it will take a good afternoon at least. Went along a different access to the cliffs and took a few pics on the way, then back up to the lighthouse, through the bunkers, then down the singletrack and round the lochs.
A few pics, and yes, they are some high cliffs.
Thought I'd share and hope everyone else had a good ride out this weekend
