点评:We got the bus from Kirkwall to St Margaret’s Hope. This bus journey takes you across the Churchill Barriers. Arriving in the small town we set off up to Hoxa Head which is about 7km walk. There is a lovely beach (with toilets) along the route. At Hoxa Head there is a car park and then a ‘Private’ sign. Walk past the private sign and eventually you will see a path (beyond the houses) on the right. We couldn’t see the path as the farmer had dropped off his hay bales, covering the path. It all adds to the adventure and the fun when you find the footpath sign, hidden behind the bales. The path becomes a coast path with the old WWII battery to your left. The path curves around to Hoxa Head. This is a lovely long walk or it could be a decent run route as well. The bus leaves from the propeller down at the quay. There is no bus stop.
翻译:我们乘坐巴士从柯克沃尔前往圣玛格丽特霍普。这段车程会经过丘吉尔堤坝。抵达这个小镇后,我们开始向霍克萨角进发,全程约7公里。沿途有一片很不错的沙滩,那里还有厕所。到了霍克萨角后,会有一个停车场,旁边有个“私人领地”的标志。绕过这个标志后,最终就能在右侧看到一条小路(在几栋房子后面)。不过我们没能看到那条路,因为农场主刚刚卸下干草捆,把小路给遮住了。当你发现藏在草捆后面的小径标志时,整段旅程就变得更加充满冒险乐趣了。沿着这条小路前行,你会看到左侧有一座二战时期的旧炮台;随后小路蜿蜒延伸至霍克萨角。这是一条非常适合徒步或跑步的长途路线。巴士从码头处的螺旋桨标志处出发,那里并没有公交站。
