Hashing in Shetland...

A bus picked us up from the ferry when we arrived at 8am. We dropped off our luggage at the Islesburgh Youth Hostel...

…and then were taken across the island to the start of our trail. 

The scenery on the 9.6K trail with a elevation gain of 275 meters was both beautiful...

…and barren. There was no way to keep my feet dry through the bogs, but the views were worth it.

The trail ended at a beach for a dip, which I skipped, but Opee couldn’t resist jumping in.

The bus then took us (except for Opee, Cockatool and Inspector Gorse who insisted on running after mooning the bus) to a community center for a delicious lunch. Many of the swimmers wore the robes that we all got in our goodie bags.
