Since i am 'going home' for Easter, i thought i should base my project on Orkney. And since Orkney is surrounded by sea, i thought that would be a good starting point. Im thinking about crashing waves on cliffs, that sort of thing. Also perhaps about the tide and shoreline. These are 2 photos i had from my last visit, in 2008, both taken on Stronsay. Not particularly 'wavey' but this would be sooo boring without pictures!
Most of my time in Orkney will be spent on the mainland, so there are lots of different places to look at. Will go to Inganess and Scapa beach with friends (will bring back memories of drunken barbecues and driving cars on the beach!) to look at the shore line, and will convince the boyfriend to drive me to Yesnaby for some really big waves.
Im also going to be spending a few days on 'my island', where i grew up, Stronsay. Will start at the Ayre of Myers - sandy beach were i spent most of my summers paddling when i was little, with cliffs and rocks at the sides for bigger waves. Got in trouble quite a lot for attempting to climb those cliffs when i was younger! Also have to go to the Vat of Kirbuster, which is at the other end of the island. There are some low cliffs behind mum and dads house, with surprisinlgy splashy, dangerous waves, but i will have to walk through 2 fields of cows to get to them! Going to need wellies.
