Looking back at Collafirth Hill
On past Roga Field towards Mid Field
Approaching Mid Field Cairn. Summit off 388M. The route from here is NNE towards Vig Vishins, but I quickly added Ronas Hills summit since I was here. Although it isn't part of the watershed
Trig point on Ronas hill. Shetland highest hill at 450M
Chambered cairn on Ronas Hill Summit
Box behind Trig point with a book you can read to see who has summited and sign yourself. Someone had left a beer. Thank you I will repay the compliment on a future visit.
View from Ronas
At the Moshella Lochs the watershed turns NE between them
The water board have run a pipe diverting some of the water from the higher Westerly loch into the Easterly one across the watershed, this loch then feeds Roer water which is a main loch for the Mains water supply.
This is unfortunately is to the detriment of the 80M water fall going over the cliffs at Lang Clodie wick
On past Birka Water
Good Night Tirricks (Artic Terns)
Camp site with Ronas Hill in Background
Daily Mileage 10.83Miles doing watershed (12.47 Miles including Ronas Hill)

The beer was very nice
