Wednesday 26 June 2013 – Mid Yell to Fetlar

As the weather seemed settled for a day or 2 we decided to visit Fetlar which does not have any proper harbour (except possibly for a small new marina included in the new ferry harbour at the NW corner, but we did not find out about that until later).  We anchored in Wick of Trestra (wick means bay) and took the bikes ashore.  Visited the bird hide but saw nothing, visited Funzie and saw the special conglomerate. Then we walked along the cliffs to follow one of the geological trails.  Eventually gave up as the directions were too vague for us.  Still no birds at the hide when we checked on the way back.
