Bass Rock

Back blip - I also black blipped 22nd August and 23rd August

We had a fabulous day a rowing trip round the Bass Rock - among other things the Bass Rock  hosts the world's largest colony of northern gannets. It is a traditional outing, taking place, weather permitting, the day after North Berwick Regatta. I didn't take part in the regatta (I don't think racing is really my thing and my shoulder is not great with short, intense bursts) but really wanted to do this and thankfully there was a place on the boat for me. The weather couldn't have been better for this. The sea was calm, it was sunny without being too hot - just magical. It took us about three hours for the round trip, without rushing.
