Hello Orcadia This autumn I will be making my 4th trip to Orkney. When I first set foot there in 1990, I never dreamed I'd be returning so many times, and certainly never thought that it would be so frequent after my visit in 2000! So many islands, so little time :-) I've popped in and out of this list over the years as was needed to ask questions .. and so here I am back on again, with a few .... if you don't mind. First -- I might as well start with the most obscure of all. During my visit 2 years ago, a wonderful woman from Loganair at Kirkwall airport offered tremendous assistance in pulling together everything for my visits to Westray, Papay, and North Ron. Her assistance as the local Loganair rep was invaluable. I wish to contact her again to assist in getting to Stronsay, Sanday, and Eday. Does any list member in Orkney possibly know her name? I believe it was one of the more common Orkney surnames. Second, I'm looking for accommodation on Stronsay. Can anyone comment on the Helmsley B&B and Stronsay Hotel. I can't find a website for the hotel, but did find one for the B&B. Neither seem to be in the downloadable pdf of accommodations from the OTB. Thanks in advance -- here's to Orkney 2004!
