I remember working for the government doing environmental monitoring in Shetland for six months after the Braer oil tanker ran aground and the weather mainly consisted of horizontal rain for the whole time, but when the sun did come out it was a beautiful place.

Always enjoy going to Shetland, mainly for work and exploring at the weekends(although limited to staying in signal range due to being on call for the oil terminal at sullom voe). It’s always nice during the spring/summer months when the puffins are nesting in Sumbrugh Head, also go to Eshaness lighthouse cliffs as when there is a good swell in the sea there are blow holes in the cliffs. Would recommend going to ST Ninians Isle where you walk across a tundra with the sea on both sides on to a small island you can walk around. Would advise doing that as a weather dependent in case you get caught out. My colleague hasn’t taken part in Up Helly Ah in a few years now always amazing to watch the parade especially if the weather is great like it was this year and watched online.

Hey guys, great to see you again, enjoying your Shetland adventure. We’ve done Orkney but must get up there sometime. I’d love to see Up Helly Aa, my brother visits the islands for the music festivals, when I asked him about Up Helly Aa his words of wisdom were “all you smell is smoke and whisky!” Haha😂🤣😂 We’re down is Spain again, we met you last year on the ferry back to Plymouth. Cheers Mike🥃🥃👍👍

The wind was MAD. I was in Ullapool and the weekend after Burns Night the wind was RIDICULOUS. Wife almost got wiped out by a flying canoe, thrown up in the air by the wind very near the ferry terminal. Frightening!

Unfortunately we cannot get hello fresh up here in the highlands. We have used them before when we lived in Essex and they were brilliant. What we use now is simply cook. They send you the recipie cards and spices in little pots. The food is delicious either make

Yikes, guys. Sorry for the close call there. I saw the terror in Gemma's face. How cute are those ponies. I guess meeting them made the dicey trip worth it :) Wow, 14 hours on that ferry! The room accommodations looked cozy anyway :) Pizza for breakfast ..hmm. Maybe if it was the only choice. But definitely not cold. lol Love pizza otherwise. Cheers you two! Hopefully all these storms are over for awhile. Look forward to seeing the Viking celebration shenanigans :)

Hari OM Yeah, that's the kinda weather where finding a cave to drive into and stay for a couple of months sounds like a fair idea. Remember, the reason the Orkneys and Shetland has almost no trees... is because of the winds! Anyhoo, still lovely to see... YAM xx

Frightening weather, so glad you didn’t have an accident, looked terrifying. The beauty of Shetland looks stunning, it does look very Nordic. Beware of the feisty ponies, have some near me and one is an absolute beast! She can’t half kick her mates! Can’t say I envy your boat trip back even though it did look cosy.
