New Edinburgh flights available if anyone ahsn't made up theri mind to go yet :D

Was going to go this way but don't want to spend one week of my holidays on 'Craggy Island'

Instead going to drive up from London stopping off at various places along the way, not going to take the car on the ferry as its too expensive.

They can be slow alright. Probably best to drop them a line again, but I don't think the campsites will be booked out from what I heard. They'll accommodate you somehow if all comes to all.

Flying out on Sunday fortnight! Sounds so close now! :)

You'll be grand. Just do what you normally do when on your travels. ;) You will not notice a thing. :D

Yeah but there's that worrying bit where they say that you've had too much 'relaxation' ;)

So long as you can walk onto the plane yourself, you'll be grand.
You're not one of these guys who's rude to people so you wont draw the attention of the cabin crew.
No worries Pat, just make sure you get an aisle seat close to the loo. :)

Still pursuing car rental when I stumbled on this

13. Driving in the Faroes
Driving is on the right and most road signs follow international standards. The use of seat belts is required. The speed limit is 80 kph (50 mph) and 50 kph (30 mph) in the towns and villages. For cars with trailers, the speed limit is 50 kph and for caravans the speed limit is 60 kph. The consequences for speeding are severe. If caught exceeding the speed limit by 30 kph, you may loose your license on the spot. Parking in the towns of Klaksv�k and T�rshavn is restricted. Parking discs must be displayed in the lower right hand corner of the front windscreen showing the time you parked your car. These display discs are available at no charge from banks and the tourist offices. There is a fine of DKK 200 for parking violations. Headlights must be on when driving and seat belts fastened. As you drive along, please be aware that the sheep may be startled and leap out in front of you. If you happen to collide with a sheep, immediately contact the police in T�rshavn at tel 311448 for assistance.

Brilliant :D :D

I reckon I might need that police number as a speed dial on my phone

No different than driving in Roscommon so? Well as long as you don't get out and stick the sheep in your boot and take it home! :D

Theres no way you could harm a sheep at 50kph.
