4-Xtremes – Part 61: Overlander meeting way out there

To get to the bay, we travel from the main island over a bridge to the island of Muckle Roe. Our friends turn right at the end of a road, open a gate – and then continue along a gravel road. We follow them for about half an hour, the road is just wide enough for our trucks, and the beauty of the landscape almost distracts Mike from driving. But only almost, because the "journey" partly leads through moorland, anda few times Mike has to drive very carefully to stay on track.

At the end of the track, we park the trucks by a barn. The ideal place to spend the weekend. The sun is shining, there is hardly any wind. We walk along dramatic cliffs, watch seals swim and explore the ruins of abandoned houses. In the evening we sit by the campfire and watch the northern lights dancing in the sky.

As much as we love our freedom: some things can't be discovered alone – and some experiences are twice as nice if you share them with others. After the weekend together, both parties head south again – to different destinations. Find out where ours is next time.
