Ah ha...
Looks like my links work so on with a few snaps.
I stayed on the middle island, Yell, in a Bod. There are 8 or 9 owned by the Council and available for £10/night. Basic accommodation but great for a night or 2.
Here are the local Shetland ponies. Hardy looking but cute.
Not many trees up here but great roads. Long slow low hills. None requires great effort but I found the first few a bit draining.
I'm use to short sharp climbs. Ones that go on for miles can be a little annoying. But I soon got my head around how best to tackle them.
Here is Muckle Flugga. It was a good half hour walk to the very top where the lighthouse was playing hide and seek in the mist.
Many of the bus shelters on Unst and Yell are decorated. Very unusual and fun.
When the sun is out and the wind drops it's a stunning part of the UK
There are a couple of forum members here who live on Shetland but if anyone needs advice of more info on this beautiful part of the world, please PM me.
Matt - who will be back.
