For
cloudy weather that was in the forecast is a suspicious amount of sunshine
outside.
I
drive to Sandur for walking to Søltuvík beach from there. The road that was
supposed to be gravel, is paved. For people who like to drive to the beach.
Next
to the road is a huge rock that wears knitted clothes during summer season. Now
clothes have been removed for winter and the rock wears a fishing net instead.
It would make more sense to wear the lighter garment in summer but I guess the
locals know it better. A bit further is a wall like a geography textbook. Then
there are views on Small and Big Dímun and Skúvoy. The last of these I planned
to visit from here as a day trip but you cannot go everywhere with such a short
time.
A
bit before the beach is a sigh anchored to a boulder announcing viewpoint. One
has to follow blue marks. There are no marks but there’s a path. Red marks
start when it is necessary to climb over a fence. Probably they meant the blue
marks on the map. The path leads to a rock ledge which is lined with round
shapes and hangs over the ocean like a balcony. Surprisingly arrive three
hikers and occupy the viewpoint. It is above a hillock where the beach and
cliffs beyond can be seen. No actual need to go down to the beach although the
competing hikers aim directly to it, climbing over non-designated fences in the
process. When the landowner has given permission to use the path then it maybe
would be more polite to stay where shown and not run all over the place. I walk
back through a shower of rain.
