The Prequel - Shetland 2009 Day -1

In 2009 I travelled to Shetland by train from Edinburgh and ferry overnight from Aberdeen. I didn't realise it at the time but this was the beginning of my love affair with the North Sea Cycle Route. Between 2009 and 2012, I found out about the longest signed route in the world and got a map of it, which went on the wall in my kitchen and gave me hours of looking and planning. In the end I bought a ticket to fly to Bergen in Norway and  start the biggest adventure of my life have ever undertaken. The blog starts after the photos
