  1. Has anyone ever hired a 7.5 tonne truck in Aberdeen or close by?  I have found a couple of companies that will do the hire but can't provide lashing points as required by Northlink to being onto the ferry.

     

    Needs to be at least 7.5 tonne, appreciate I can get a Luton up here but need something bigger ideally.  I know Star Rent A Car used to have a small 7.5 truck but they've said they no longer have it.

  2. Quick update on this.  I spoke to Logan Air, they no longer take squishy face dogs on their planes.  The lady was very helpful and honest, she said she wouldn't advise taking any dogs on the plane as the hold gets so cold it's stresses them out!

     

    We brought our pug back on the boat in the kennels.  As expected not impressed but it was the only option.  Noisy and. to pleasant at all.  he was good as gold and seemed to cope with it very well so we were very relieved.

     

    I've spoken to many people since who are all saying they leave their dogs in the car wherever possible as they're more confirmable in known surroundings.

  3. Thinking about bringing over a small dog from Aberdeen and wanted a little advice please.

     

    We've never taken our own dog off Shetland and I'm wondering what the 'kindest' way to travel would be?

     

    Appreciate the boat is somewhat calmer at this time of year so kennels maybe fine but it's a long night for them (and us!) I wasn't aware until recently that you could bring dogs over on the plane but they he would need to be in a crate in the hold.  This would be quicker but not sure on the stress level, noise etc.

     

    Appreciate any advice from folk that have used either/both methods, thanks.

  4. I was always with Vodafone and then moved over to GiffGaff (O2) which gave me 3G in the town and decent enough coverage elsewhere.  I've now moved over to EE and the difference is huge, far far better signal than any other network.  3G in places I'd not expected, Brae for example.

  5. I appreciate this has been discussed in the past but as I can't find any more recent threads.....

     

    I'd like to know if anyone is currently using satellite broadband and if so how they are getting on with it, associated costs etc.

     

    I've emailed the local company to discuss but would very much like to hear form people that use it.  I'm at the end of my tether with BT and have terminated my account so now need an alternative :-)
