Any first hand information for B & B's and any other cycling info I might need. Places not to miss.
I only have 3 days in Shetland so want to make the most of my time up there.
Thank you
Liz

Re:Shetland help needed
3 days, it's not enough! See www.visitshetland.com, lots of ideas there.
Lerwick the capital, has an excellent SYHA hostel and camp site and selection of B&B. Museum there gives an insight to the locality. Best to book ahead if planning to spend a night out of Lerwick. Cycling can be quite energetic,hilly, and there's the wind! Visiting the Broch on Mousa is an interesting expedition. Or a trip to Bressay, birds & cliff scenery. There is a TIC in Lerwick with all the info you would want.

Thanks Mike,
I know I need longer, but I only had 1 more days holiday to take so thats as long as I could stretch the visit. If the ferry is late on the way home I will be late for work that day. The SYH is only open in the summer, so the cheapest option is B&B even the bods are closed until April1st.

Re:Shetland help needed
email the tourist office for really good help. Lerwick is central and the distances much more than you would expect especially when the wind is against you! Bus services are fair. Unst has a hostel and should be included if possible.
