"Soul compatibility has never looked scarier."

On June 1st, 1967, Nirvana Kings and her friends went camping in Drummore Pines. They had awakened something ancient and wicked, and its soul had latched onto Nirvana's.

She had become the vessel of The Unheard, and the woods had become a place of the damned. With each soul claimed, it has become bigger, expanding, moving closer towards the nearby towns.

---

Nirvana Kings is the first revamp of my old creepypasta character Nayabi Kimura. Similar to the first version, I've incorporated body horror that's based on trees, though now it's straight up demon possession rather than a revenge plot.

I'll work on a character profile later! Hope you enjoy!!

Day Fifty-nine

Up and at 'em by Stranraer golf course this morning, the stiff winds jave persisted through the night but the shelter of the trees allows getting some breakfast cooked up before hitting the road once more.

It's a couple of miles back down to Stranraer proper to load up on some water, then it's back off southward up the hills to the A716.

Whilst the sun is shining nicely, the winds are coming in over the hills from the southwest and causing a good deal of work, hitting me diagonally and not only buffeting me to the side but causing a great deal of drag as the road carries on through the foothills.

There's lots of pretty farmland being passed through here, with bronze fields of wheat and forests of corn alongside fallow fields full of daisies, but I can't savour the sights too much due to having to keep my head down through the gusting winds.

I take a short break at Sandhead, which features a nice little bay, before slogging onward again.

A lot of the stretches of road here are in fairly poor condition due to weighty farm traffic, which furthers the work required to keep going. And the winds continue to rise along with the climbs.

By the time I push up the hill and in to Drummore I'm feeling pretty worn out, and have a bit of a longer break for lunch bu the small park which offers a little respite from the weather.

This is a really damn tough day so far. A combination of high headwinds, long climbs, heavy traffic, and poor road surfacing, is a full set of the things I dislike riding with. But there's still further to go, so not much option other than to grind it out.

From Drummore, it's more climbing up over the hills past Damnaglaur as the winds begin to gust to gale force levels.

As the road narrows to a single track it throws some big undulations along with being fairly busy with traffic from other sightseers.

Passing on through the pastures full of cows and sheep on the end of the peninsula, I'm forced to push the bike most of the last way as otherwise I'd be blown over by the howling gale rushing in over the sea, but with a final effort up the last hill I finally get in to the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse.

I have a bit of a potter around to take in the impressive views here. The Isle of Man is just visible on the horizon, with the coast opposite shining in the sun. Looking back up the coastline I've come down, the far stretch is shadowed by rain from the clouds pouring over from the west.

The strong winds are at their worst up here with many folk struggling to stay on their feet, so I make a short retreat to grab a coffee at the cafe and give the legs some needed rest.

Time for the return trip! I walk down some of the initial hills due to the intense crosswinds, before mounting up and getting going.

One disadvantage of panniers is their surface area in a headwind, which causes a great deal of extra resistance and work. But witha tailwind like this, they act like sails to help speed me along, and soon I'm flying back round the hills towards Drummore at breakneck pace.

With the wind finally in my favour, it's comparatively easy going after the intense labours of the morning, and I zoom back up the road before stopping off for a brief breather at the picnic spot by the sea at Ardwell.

As I head north I'm getting beneath the very dark clouds that are drifting across the skies and heavy drops of rain begin to come down, but the high winds mean the clouds are passing swiftly by, making for some scattered showers but nothing torrential.

Further along, I swing back through Sandhead again to top up on water, and have a brief chat with a couple of Brummies. Gotta love small world syndrome!

I take the turn off the A road finally to head northeast and suddenly it's blissfully quieter, with the traffic practically vanishing. And as the road passes along an MOD firing range, the winds begin to calm down as well.

The rains are still coming intermittently though, and I am thoroughly worn out by all of today's hard effort, so I'm pondering an earlier finish for the day. Which is well timed as I roll around the corner and come across Torrs Warren just before hitting Dunragit.

With the rains starting to intensify, I've setup beneath the shelter of a nice big ash tree to batten down the hatches for the evening and get a mich needed lie down.

Until tomorrow!

LOTD: Mull of Galloway

~sorry for delay - meant for December 20th, 2022~

(from: http://www.ibiblio.org/lighthouse/sctsw.htm)

Mull of Galloway

1830 (Robert Stevenson). Active; focal plane 99 m (325 ft); white flash every 20 s. 26 m (85 ft) round masonry tower with lantern and gallery, attached to a 1-story keeper's house. Lighthouse painted white with buff trim; lantern painted black. Paul Stevenson's photo is below, Trabas has a closeup photo by Arno Siering, Wikimedia has many photos, Marinas.com has aerial photos, Huelse has a historic postcard view, and Google has a street view and a satellite view. This famous and historic light station stands on the southernmost point of Scotland and at the northern end of the Irish Sea, marking the entrance to the North Channel and to the Solway Firth. It is one of only two Northern Lighthouse Board lighthouses open for climbing. The Mull of Galloway Visitor Centre, adjacent to the light station, occupies a building that originally housed the workers building the lighthouse. The keeper's houses are available for vacation rental . A coffee shop was added to the site in 2004. Much of the surrounding area is a bird sanctuary managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. In 2013 the Mull of Galloway Trust received a grant of £338,500 to buy the Northern Lighthouse Board's property, except for the lighthouse itself. Note: the word mull is a corruption of a Gaelic word maol for a bare hill or a rounded headland; the Gaelic name of the cape is Maol nan Gall. Located atop a vertical cliff at the southern tip of the Rhins of Galloway about 8 km (5 mi) south of Drummore. Accessible by road, parking provided. Site open, visitor center open daily April through mid September, tower open daily in July and August, also on Saturdays and Sundays mid April through June and in September and October (check the Trust web site for current information). Operator: Northern Lighthouse Board. Site manager: South Rhins Community Development Trust. ARLHS SCO-144; Admiralty A4610; NGA 4816.

FINDING FIELD-NAMES (6) CUSHIE

Field-names in the parish of Borgue can be used to identify locations where wildlife was a notable feature and sometimes indicates changes in land use or landscape features.

This field encloses Drummore Hill, (a name derived from the Gaelic druim mòr meaning big ridge), but the field is known as Cushie Wood. A copse is marked on the hilltop on old maps and is an example of a field-name identifying a historic landscape feature. The woodland appears to have been felled about 100 years ago.

Cushat or cushie-doo is a Scots word for a wood pigeon and in this field-name has been reduced to Cushie. Presumably the woodland was the haunt of this common wild bird that no doubt was a valuable ingredient for the farm kitchen.

Other field names referring to wildlife include Eel Park, Hare Field, Peewit Bog (lapwing), Todholes (fox) and Weasel Wood Field.
