This is the bay where we landed by climbing up a ladder while the boat pushed against the jetty - definitely not 'accessible', i.e. Wheelchair friendly! The island is lovely, but it was very windy and we had a very......exhilarating trip back in the 65' long boat.
After recent rain it looks a lot like the Lakeland fells.
There used to be a working sheep ranch on the island but it was taken over as part of a National Park in the eighties and is being gradually being re-naturalised. This is one of many relics of the ranching period.
We went for a hike with the local volunteer who knew everything about the plants and wildlife.
David and Rose ahead of me as usual!
I'm just resting!
This is an island fox, smaller than ours and unique to this island.
Then we had to come back. Very, very windy, so we bounced up and down a lot which is an understatement! Just getting onto the boat was a challenge having to descend the ladder onto the boat deck as it was moving up and down. I began to wonder if James knows where our wills are kept!
