Hi Guys!
Just a quick message to introduce myself. Just found this forum.
Any other Shetlanders here?

Hi Lerwick.
Sorry, another non-Shetlander here.

Hello Lerwick and welcome to GS. I'm in Geneva.
Well Lerwick, what's the weather like up there? Windy, I'll bet but temperaturewise? Is it any hotter than here? Freezing today (14°, about) mid June huh?
How long does it take to get to Lerwick from the mainland? Which way do you go if you have to join mainland Scotland or Edinburgh, or Glasgow, or the Orkneys or London?

Hi Princealbertofb.
The weathers not too bad today. Bit on the cold side for June, probably about 12 deg. Not that windy, but it can get very windy especially in winter. We're in the middle of the Gulf Stream which keeps the sea temperature warmer than you'ld expect and therefore keeps it mild in winter (downside is that it also keeps it mild - not hot in summer).
Been looking at the weather around Europe as I'm heading off for a wee jaunt in a couple of weeks. Looks pretty dismal right now! Hope it gets better soon.
How long it takes to get here depends on whether you fly or sail. There's a 12 hour overnight ferry from Aberdeen (6 hours from Orkney). 1 Hour flight from Aberdeen, about 1/2 hour from Orkney, 1 1/2 hours from Glasgow or Edinburgh.
Anything else you want to know, just ask!
