The purpose of the trip was to take my 1996 300TDi Defender 110 CSW all the way to the Shetland Islands to visit the end of Holsens Road, the furthest point North you can drive in the UK. I was hoping to swim in the Atlantic Ocean at Skaw Beach, but it was too rough and so ended up doing so at the beautiful Meal Beach. Other swimming beaches are detailed at the Shetland Islands Beaches website.
