We get all our cleits recorded by lunchtime, so the afternoon, including blog hour (16.00-17.00) is taken up chasing trackways up and down Mullach Sgar. We also spent part of blog hour is spent looking at the ‘prehistoric quarries’ on the east face of Mullach Sgar. These are high up above the scree slopes and conmprise outcrops that have been quarried to provide the raw materials for stone tools. The stone tools end up all over Village Bay and beyond, but how old they actually are is harder to establish. 

Thank you for all your comments, keep them coming.

As regards the marker pen yellow fluorescent waterproofs, I haven’t had a chance to wear them, but I was told that they may scare the birds so I probably shouldn’t anyway. 

Best wishes,

Robinson.
