    Hiking

    If you are walking or cycling, you may try to keep an eye on all sides as far as you can. After all, beautiful panoramas can pop up on all sides. The most important thing, however, is that you pay attention to where you step/cycle. Safety before everything!

    Hiking

    Rackwick is a small coastal village in the north west of the Isle of Hoy in Orkney, Scotland.
    Besides a handful of tourist facilities, the village consists largely of small farms and other small dwellings. Most are now second homes. Rackwick has very few permanent residents.

    Hiking

    Couldnt agree more with the last tip, as a hiker/biker we always seem to look forward, always take the time to look behind you, sometimes that view is the one that stays to memory.
