BBC Scotland - Island Blogging - Diary of a Deckhand

One end to the other....again

Posted: Tuesday, 27 November 2007

Ok, this time its not from one end of Orkney to the other, but from one end of the country to the other. Tormorrow I set out to get to London for the British Sub Aqua Club Diving Officers Conference where I will collect a safety award for the rescue in the summer.
I ummed and ahhhd about going, but then all my friends rallied round and collected a large amount of cash to pay for the tickets.

So.....

6 hours on a ferry
7 hours on a train
20 minutes on the underground
40 minutes on another train
10 minutes walk....

And then, finally I get to my friends house where I have a space on a sofa. Hurrah!

I will be going armed with the camera, so expect some piccies after the weekend.
