[mikey9]

Who has been.

Where did you stay.

Whaddidyado... (we have a 1 and 3 year old but they go walking and biking with us )

2 weeks on the islands

[mikey9]

...no-one then?

Right - I will tell you all about it in the style of a colonial adventurer when we return - must take the pith (helmet)

I've never been there but Shetlands and Orkneys are definately on our list of places to go!
Look forward to hearing your update!

I have a vague plan to go see friends in orkney islands, so your brave adventuring and copious notes would well be appreciated!

Ahh, Orkney we have done twice now (tis just up the road you know...) so any pointers you want - give me a shout.

Shetlands are apparently a different kettle of fish altogether - much more Scandowegian. Also ferry much more expensive (only £50 e/w to Orkney).

Good looking van there oj - if you want any pointers on where to find the rust - I am your guide! Also am from York originally - was back there t'other week to see folks.

they look pretty similar! i imagine the hard-top is pretty useful for you guys though, judging by al the child-related paraphernalia you have to cart round! not found any rust as of yet - there was a little under the window when i bought it, but i had that sorted as soon as i could! do you get back to york often? ive tried leaving a few times, but always wind up back here!
