Lima Ed making the best use of the Caledonian Sleeper for a too short autumn visit to Orkney. Taking in John O'Groats, Scapa Flow, the Old Man of Hoy, and Skara Brae. Part of the Orkney series, October 2009.

Lima Ed's visit to the island of Hoy, Orkney. Highlight was a trek across the island to Rackwick and along the cliffs to see the Old Man of Hoy - a Boys Own adventure embedded in the collective B&W subconscious for a whole generation of a certain age and disposition. October 2009

Leaving Hoy for Stromness on the ferry Golden Mariana - a half hour trip from Moaness pier via Graemsay that turned into a three hour adventure. Having almost reached Stromness, we were called to the aid of the dive boat Sharon Rose, that had lost her engine between Hoy and Graemsay with eight divers in the water. 05 October 2009
