Took bus 6 to Troswick (just south of Levenwick) and went off the A970 on to a single track road leading westward to the top of Ward of Scousburgh. Hard wind and hail made me put on those ski goggles I brought with me but never thought I'd actually use. How glad I was to be able to shield my eyes from the falling ice!

I continued on westwards down to Scousburgh and eastwards n B9122 through Skelberry back to A970. Walking south along the busy road to Dunrossness where I again turned westwards and walked to Hillwell. From here began the ascent of Fitful Head. Had a quick looking around at the top before jogging down to catch the last bus back to the A970 and on to Lerwick.
