We passed the Maroons bus on the way up
The Castle of Old Wick. The wind made it a bit ropey to approach fully. Maybe if i was on my own
Ebeneezer Place. The shortest street in the world
Proof
Wick may have small streets but the fish is massive
Never mind how many miles or hours it took. 75 tunes from door to door
The Keith bus again
Its never ever a fiver
A milestone for the Wee Man
Wick warm up
Keith do the same
Wee Man loved the expanse of grass
The wee stand
Kick offCarrot in a steak pie. Not a bad thing at all
The corner flag says it all
Wee Man from a distance, and the car punters behind
The floodlights were lucky not to suffer fatigue fractures given the wind induced movement
Another unthreatening ball heading out of play. The wind wreaked havok
A rainbow appeared and from Harmsworth Park we followed one home until Elgin
‘e Scorries attack
A view from the terrace
Wonky sponsor boards found all round the place
Enthusiastic fitba dogs. (Insert heart here)
1-0 Wick
A long trip for the yellow ba’. Not many longer journeys undertaken to date. John o’ Groats are incoming soon
Hazards on. Banks o’ Dee on the way back from Brora away to clog their arteries
