Hello again everyone its very exciting to hear you are all arriving here or have already arrived. I don't know if I will be able to attend any of the events due to just recently having surgery and still recovering. But as I said in the past I am happy to help with any questions anyone has. If there are any planned meet ups in Lerwick just for a social chat I would love to be able to meet some fellow Geocachers. I hope you all have a fantastic time!!

What a fantastic map!! Thanks for posting that. I just requested my holidays so that I can be at this event. And as I said any questions about the local area or any help with anything just let me know.

Fantastic to here you enjoyed your last visit so much! And I must say Burra in particular West Burra is my favorite place here in Shetland but its where I call home hehe! And all the places you listed are fantastic to visit. We are already planning on placing a bunch of caches all over at some of our favorite walking and serene viewing spots. So don't worry we will get a bunch of new and exciting ones out before all the caching vistors get here. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Yes the natives are coming hehe. Well in regards to your question there a many things to see so to start; I would recommend Esheness lighthouse in Northmavine but not on a very windy day as the cliffs are high and the wind can literally blow you over them in seconds and this is a place you want to be able to get out of the car as their are some unique features that I will let you discover.Also on the way to the Eshaness lighthouse there is a campsite with a great cafe' which has amazing fresh local food and I highly recommend. The museum in Lerwick is amazing, also a trip to Whalsay just for the views of the other islands, Jarlshof the Archaeology site, And any of the Brochs. The easiest one to visit and see is in Lerwick and well worth having a look inside. It really depends what you like and are interested in. I could go on for days with suggestions. The Scalloway castle which you will need to get the keys from the local pub the Scalloway Hotel or the woolen mill to get acess. Getting the keys is fun in itself and how often do you get keys to a castle,lol. Also there is the Shetland Bus musuem in Scalloway fascinating WWII history. Also Mavis Grind if you want to see otters and stand between the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Their are tons of natural features and places to visit as well. Ask away and I will happily share more. Hope this gives everyone some ideas. And thanks again for the welcome!! Looking forward to seeing some geocachers up this way!

Well done on your first ever geocache and welcome to the forum. I hope you'll enjoy the event. MrsB Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I am really looking forward to being part of the geocache community and seeing places that I havent seen before. Again thank you!
