Wednesday 14 February: a quiet wander along the Hinnisdal forest road, on a calm and grey afternoon. Yesterday afternoon I was nearly being blown off my feet – today there’s barely a breath of wind. As with other wooded parts of the island, the trees are accompanied by moss and lichen, and despite the trees, there are some fine views out to sea and up the glen.
