The extremely busy Sumburgh airport in the sun, yesterday 7pm.This morning, over a plate of porridge in the B&B, I had an interesting conversation with a chap who works as an economic consultant. He had travelled from Glasgow to oil rich Shetland to run workshops with key agencies, which will explore the economic implications of alternative energy sources with the aim of developing a viable strategy. As this man also, two years ago, cycled from Land's end to John O'Groats, I felt slightly better about my vehicle choice when he reassured me that considerable research indicated that flying to islands such as Shetland was less environmentally damaging than taking the ferry.
