I’m booked on the ferry to Lerwick from Aberdeen this evening as a foot passenger with a (touring) bicycle. Problem is I can’t identify parking close to the harbour that isn’t so expensive that I would have been better off taking the car to the islands.
Anyone with local knowledge of where to park? Willing to cycle in, preferably by a low traffic route, from somewhere further out from the harbour.
I need to set off in a couple of hours, but as I’m only committed a foot passenger fare I’m considering other options 1)stay at home 2)go via Orkney assuming parking is reasonable that way 3)going to the Outer Hebrides instead.
Done Orkney and the Outer Hebs loads though but never been to Shetland, so a I’m miffed that I’m finding organizing parking so difficult. £17.50 a day is the cheapest I’ve found, could be there for 12 days so not cheap.
