Arbroath and the famous smokies beckon

July 14th, 2008, 3:24:49 pm

Having gone over half way round Britain to arrive in NE Scotland it would be a shame not to stop at Arbroath and sample the famous "Arbroath Smokies" - haddock smoked over wood chips. Besides, the leg from here to Eyemouth is over 100nm and Arbroath would break it up making for two much shorter legs.

I will fuel up here in Peterhead to get me to Eyemouth so I don’t have to refuel in Arbroath.

I am really looking forward to Arbroath and with westerlies forecast for Wednesday at the moment I would be happier making for Arbroath than for Eyemouth with a F4-5 forecast. I will decide if I go Wednesday or Thursdayuon Wednesday morning as usual.

If anyone knows of a good place for me to try the smokies then please post on the blog or email me… ta.
