This was taken in Jan 2012 on the cliffs of the West Mainland in the Orkney Islands. The wind was blowing ~50-60 mph over the cliffs and the cliffs there are about 85m (~270ft). The cliffs have many little points of land sticking out and the effect of these can be wild when the wind blows in the right direction..... The comment about running fast was when I could not move my legs fast enough and the wind was pushing me along at about 30mph. Had it been towards the cliff I would not be typing this now!
