Welcome to Bruce, a fellow Yorkshire resident (to date...)! As i live in York i'm interested to know which route to Orkney from Scarborough you have found easiest/best - i've taken 3 different routes in the past 3 years but want to further experiment. 1) A never-to-be-repeated, very special DAY return flight for a big celebration in a 6 seater plane from a small local airfield to an even smaller, poss smallest i've ever seen, airstrip on Sanday island... fantastic day... 2) Train to Inverness, B&B overnight, then the Orkney Bus (coach to John O'Groats then on up to Kirkwall - total journey time = 2 days!! 3) Train to Edinburgh, flight to Kirkwall (takes a day) This summer i'll poss try train to Aberdeen then ferry to Kirkwall next time, have you experienced that route? Any tried and tested routes from anyone else who lives in/near Yorkshire? Or do most folk in the UK drive up? (phew) Fiona Near York North Yorkshire PS Interested to know, Bruce, if you are planning to re-locate to Mainland Orkney or one of the islands? Are there any Orcadian estate agents online...? I'm dreaming now... >From: BRUCE FLETCHER <ricardian@btinternet.com> >Reply-To: ORCADIA-L@rootsweb.com >To: ORCADIA-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [<orcadia>] Just joined >Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2004 13:48:28 +0000 (GMT) > >Have just joined this list - interesting film clips >from the last poster.
