But she's only a few miles by road and a few hours by ferry!
    1. Turn left at end of driveway
    2. Continue on that road through Walls and Bridge of Walls
    3. Going north, take the right hand split toward Hulma Water
    4. Turn left at B9071
    5. Turn left on A908, toward Hilside and A968
    6. Take A968 to the Toft Shetland Ferry Terminal (toilet facilities available)
    7. Continue on A968 crossing Yell to Gutcher Shetland Ferry Terminal
    8. Welcome to Oddsta!

But, if it is a "stealth" sub, how did anyone find out it was grounded?! dntknw.gif I went shopping last week for some camp shirts...but I couldn’t find any... rolleyes.gif

Those subs should get SONAR installed! It's great for avoiding stuff like... land! eek2.gif doh.gif

How ironic that the grounding occurred so near the sea and skye!! Groaner.gif scram.gif

Well sightings will be difficult for a while as I am travelling around the UK with my camera!

My holiday - 30 photoshoots!

Can't wait.
