More Maps!

I wanted to post these second maps so that all of the maps are here before I set off. They're not on the laptop that is travelling with me, and so they'll be where we can both refer to them!

When I leave Iona I backtrack along the route I take to get there - across to Mull, then on a bus from one side of Mull to the other, then across to Oban and back on the train to Glasgow - except instead of stopping in Glasgow I'll be continuing on to Edinburgh and the to Berwick on Tweed where I'll catch a bus to Beal and hopefully on to Lindisfarne, Holy Island. Failing that, it will be by taxi from Berwick on Tweed to Lindisfarne -- having to watch both bus timetables and the tidal timetable as well!

You can almost see Holy Island on this shot. But I hope it's a little clearer on this one.

I even traced part of my route to show you where Holy Island is ... and Glasgow and Edinburgh are underlined to help you get your bearings.



If you look closely on the map above, you will see the dotted line that is the tidal causeway to Holy Island! It feels like an adventure!

And if you click on any of the maps they will become larger - large enough for you read the place names and check out the surrounding towns.

All this with a click of a button, after spending a futile two hours attempting to do the same thing on the other blog. I'm sure you understand the reason for the switch.
