 Re: Shetland Islands.  So where are you now  Still based in Lerwick I enjoyed going into "Captain Flints" bar in Lerwick when I was in the Shets,it was good "live" music most nights. Oh ....  ....and dont go paddling in the sea at Muckle Flugga ....it being the most Northerly point of the British Isles I had to take a paddle and piss in the sea ....  Mind you .... ....it was {  } 6 years ago. Enjoying following your trip. best regards T.

Re: Shetland Islands. I'm in Northmavine, a place called Bardister, overlooking Gluss Voe. I've done some damage to my left shoulder I'm afraid, so I've been to a local doctor today and I'm now on a fair few painkillers including quite strong ones  I'll be back on the ferry south to Aberdeen this time tomorrow-if my shoulder can cope!lol. I highly recommend a week or two in the Shetlands, it's a wonderful place and if you need to see a GP and have a prescription for something... IT'S FREE! Lol!!

Re: Shetland Islands. Left the ferry at Aberdeen at 7am and got to Edinburgh at 10am via a park and ride, it's bloody expensive and cheap (in a nasty way). The only thing that's cheap is the petrol /£1.32 a litre. Was £1.51 in Shetland(on Bressay, it was £1.65!!!

Re: Shetland Islands. Can't see Bressay having 98 octane, so it'll be standard 95 unless that was/is the price of diesel....Can't say I took any time to check.
