Riding to the top of The Shetland Islands - Unst
 

I've got a ride up here planned for the first week in May 2017 with few others.

I'm going on my XR650L

Any tips for the Islands on what to do, where to stay , getting around, ferrys, mosquitoes, wild camping rules, freedom of riding trails etc ?

I hope to do mostly camping but any advice on cheap hostels, shelters, back gardens would be appreciated too.

I found this excellent write up if anyone's interested too.

I might be up for this if I am back from the Bon Jovi Asia tour in time. Keep me posted.

Okay mate. I hope you still have the energy after the tour.

Following BonJovi for two months around Australasia sounds exhausting.

But as their number one lifetime devoted fan I can see why you've sold your house to pay for it. I only hope you can finally get Jon himself to sign that full size back tattoo you have of him.

Have a great time. "Keep the faith" and know that you'll be spending two months "Living on a prayer".
