peeriebryan Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Clickimin Campsite........sorry The most adventurous camping I've ever done is at the Bikers Rally, so Ill keep out of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoolHaddock Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Weel I'm no sure aboot the mainland, but if you had a peerie boat you could go tae een of the peerie islands that lie just aff of some of the bigger islands. ie. Hascosy, Linga or wherever. I wid think that you could get a mobile signal on these peerie islands because they are so close tae the main islands. You wid need a fine day tae camp on een of these islands though. It's maybe a peerie bit too ambitious though if your just lookin' fir a peerie fun night we your bairns, but just an idea. If you were lookin' fir a BIG fun, you could camp on the Sumburgh airstrip?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAStewart Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Oxna (Near Burra, Burra) is a good peerie island on which to camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Fetlar......a small campsite so you have some facilities close by and if you are mainland based the adventure of two ferries to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeriebryan Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Yeah, da Fetlar campsite facilities are braa good. You can get a water n a wash. Set up your tent in the lea o da bank at da back to keep da worst o da wind aff. And nearly aathing in Fetlar is a short walk/drive awaa. Dunna expect da shop to be open though......

Pooks Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Doon aroond Spiggie isna too bad. Especially this time of year...none of those bloody campers about! In all seriousness though it is in a sheltered area, beaches nearby and if the need arises due to being in close proximity to small children, there is a pub nearby. Although, it is for sale at the moment and I fear that a night of camping may reduce you to buying the place merely to get the available beds that you require.

Guest Anonymous Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Undoubtedly Burrafirth in Unst - Gods country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpsucker Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 If you are looking for an absolutely splendid place to go camping I would highly recommend Foula - if you are looking for peace and quiet it is the place to go. I have to say there is no shop, no post office, no pub, nothing - you don't even see any people as they all hide! So take a good suitcase full of grub, a trolley full of bog roll and brace yourself to feel like the true Grizzley Adams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest perrie-lipper Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Camping is great fun, throughout my younger years there were lots of us that used to go camping in Shetland, many a story around a small camp fire at night!! Eshaness is a lovely place depending on the wind factor. Get a nice day and the exploration is endless. Sigh posts at the Eshaness lighthouse with a little history of the area. The island of yell, has many a beach worth pitching beside for a night or two, worth taking your fishing rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Undoubtedly Burrafirth in Unst - Gods country. I'll second Unst. I've camped down next to the beach at Lund before. Lovely spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
