It felt like a veeeery long way from home, I can tell you! It's half way between the Shetland Islands and Iceland, and west of Norway. It's just a tiny group of islands stuck out in the middle of the north Atlantic, and battered from all directions by every sort of weather you can imagine. Apparently they are only free of precipitation on for 80 days of the year, on average. The people describe their weather as 'four seasons in one day', which I can vouch for - minus the summer part... I believe the average temperature is a mere 50°F or thereabouts. However, I must admit I actually enjoy this sort of climate! Must be something to do with the Scots blood coursing through my veins.
There was still snow on the mountaintops when we were there, but the people we spoke to expected it to have melted by the end of the month.
I want to go back!
Just seen this thread and just want to add my thoughts on the Faeroes. Went there about 15 years agao and it was brill. Best place I have ever been to in terms of landscape [better than S.. America]. Flew in from Glasgow on this little plane where yoiu could see the driver at the front.
Stayed in a mixture of hotels, hostels, tents and private houses. Torshaven is very picturesque. If you get the chance, go. Ailsa, I couldn't find any pictures you may have posted . Are they still online as I'd love to see them.
