There are so many midges at dusk a head net is proving essential for putting up the tent or cooking.

Rate my Plate wild camping edition! Supplies are running low, definitely the most miserable looking meal I’ve prepared so far.
The Perimeter is a labour of love: it’s taken 454 days of walking, hundreds of hours of planning and thousands of hours of editing. If you have the means, I’d appreciate your support by buying a print or contributing so I can continue to share the project with you.

your architectural photography skills coming to the fore with the images of that well designed looking bridge! Also midges in September – seem late to me.
It was nice to get into that mode of seeing. Yes they were late – but definitely there in force!
The bridge looks very elegant in your photographs. I can remember taking a motorbike over on the old ferry – a long time ago!
That must have made the further north feel even more remote?
The further north was indeed very remote! I was brought up in Caithness, and going anywhere further south always felt like a major expedition. (I’m looking forward to seeing what you make of my old home areas… 🙂 ) And I can remember how just going from near Thurso to Tongue (over 40 years ago) made me feel like I’d ventured into the back of beyond when I heard a couple of old fellas chatting away in Gaelic. (Never heard it spoken in Caithness.)
