A nice and spectacular walk to the potato patches

After leaving Edinburgh westwards on the northern slopes of the volcano

you will meet a rural landscape with hens and cattle strolling freely.

And just around the last corner you will find the potato patches.

Even here rain can be torrential and causing erosion.

In January you will find the potato blossom in the patches,

protected from the prevailing wind by stonewalls.

The Tristanians put a lot of work and love here and have a

good harvest, but we have to go back those 3 miles to Edinburgh.
