With restrictions still in place on travel and various tests and quarantines to comprehend, I have been loathe to rush back into booking any of these usual trips. However, I still pined for the feeling of being in the fjords and needed a way to replicate it, to enjoy some social time with others and escape all the stresses of day to day life whilst immersed in natural beauty. My usual domain of shore angling just wasn’t going to tick the boxes.
There’s no doubting that being on a rather isolated outcrop of rock with poor phone signal offers some level of escape, but nothing to match that feeling of passing through a departures security gate. There’s no physical barrier whilst still on British soil (or rock). What I needed was to leave these shores…. Thus, I did just that…
