点评:This was number one on my places to visit on our Shetland trip and it didn't disappoint. There is an information/visitors area in the car park with clean toilets open 24 hours, and your walk starts from there.
We took in the long hike heading up and over the hill to look out over Muckle Flugger and Out Stack. It starts off on a boardwalk, good for stopping you straying into a bog or getting too close to Bonxies (Great Skuas) nesting areas. When the boardwalk heads off to the left, keep going straight, up the hill following way the markers. The birdlife is amazing, getting closer to puffins than we thought possible. The path then turns left and follows the coastline until eventually getting back to the boardwalk where you turn back down to the car park.
If not straying from the boards, there is no need for hiking boots, but I'd definitely recommend sturdy foot ware for the longer route. It is around 3.5 hours allowing for lots of photo stops, and care should be taken, especially in high winds . . . but it is more than worth the effort!
翻译:这是我在设得兰群岛旅行中第一个要去的地方,它没有让我失望。停车场有一个信息/游客区,里面有 24 小时开放的干净厕所,你的步行从那里开始。
我们进行了一次长途徒步,爬上山,俯瞰 Muckle Flugger 和 Out Stack。它从一条木板路开始,可以很好地防止你误入沼泽或太靠近 Bonxies(大贼鸥)的筑巢区。当木板路向左转时,继续直行,沿着路标上山。鸟类生活令人惊叹,我们离海鹦的距离比我们想象的要近。然后小路左转,沿着海岸线走,直到最终回到木板路,然后你再转回停车场。
如果不偏离木板路,就不需要登山靴,但我绝对建议在较长的路线上穿结实的鞋子。大约需要 3.5 小时,可以停下来多次拍照,并且要小心,特别是在大风天气下……但这非常值得!
