If you’re looking to be swept off your feet then I recommend
hiking to the top of Pilley's Head look off. Sorry if this is misleading, there are not several
bachelor fishermen wearing nothing but a pair of waders waiting for you at the
top, you are literally wind blown off your feet. The higher you hike, the windier
it gets. There hasn’t been a time yet, in our four of five hikes, that we
haven’t been able to stand at a 45-degree angle at the top of Pilley’s Head and
have our bodies completely supported by the wind. Try giving a little hop, I
bet you wont land in the same place twice. Our current flight record to date is
about two feet. The local handyman building our shed suggests filling our
pockets with rocks, but where’s the fun in that?
Day one (playing it safe):
Day two (growing a little more daring):

| Leaning into the wind |

| Getting some air |
