Possible opportunity

A long time ago, when we were both still living at home, Duncan used to drive me home ‘the long way round’. This could sometimes be a very long way. Anyway, occasionally we would leave early, and take a flask of tea and some sandwiches (I know, how romantic…) and park somewhere, usually in the rain. OK, it wasn’t quite midnight, and not quite a picnic, but that’s the inspiration for this goal.
This year, we’re going to Orkney. At midsummer. When it stays fairly light all night, for at least one night. If the weather’s good, this might be a good opportunity. And if it’s wet, well, there’s always a flask of tea and some sandwiches, parked in the car somewhere.
