Faroes 1 - Faroes 2

Saturday 7th September 2002
The throng outside the Cafe before the ferry Outside the Cafe on the way to the boat In the lounge on the boat Ally & Sue on the boat
Over the sea to the game Crossing the mighty Atlantic Waiting for the run up the hill The light at the end of the tunnel
Just look at the anticpation on that man's face! Dave the Bankie, on the boat 'ere a boat The view down from a quarter up the hill
'ere a hill And the view up The most scenic ground in Europe? 12 photos of the game and the ground, which has to be the most scenic stadium I've ever been in.

Of course, I couldn't appreciate this for at least 30 minutes after hyperventilating in the way up the 400-metre climb.
The most scenic ground in Europe? The most scenic ground in Europe? The most scenic ground in Europe? The most scenic ground in Europe?
The most scenic ground in Europe? The most scenic ground in Europe? The most scenic ground in Europe? The most scenic ground in Europe?
The most scenic ground in Europe? The most scenic ground in Europe? The most scenic ground in Europe?
Through the wind and the rain At half-time, as most of the hardy Tartan Army footsoliders were wrapping up, the Faroese send out their daughters in shorts! A bad hair day? Making their own half-time entertainment
It's all downhill from here The view over the back of the stand, across the athletics stadium Cooling down yet? Taffy from Inverness decides it's too warm for him
At least it's gentler on the lungs We'll be comin' down the mountain In the posh seats on the boat home Is Helen on the boat?
Today Toftir, tomorrow Everest Ally looking every bit the intrepid mountaineer as the boat pulls back into Torshavn Trooping back to the pub On the way back to the pub

That roof needs a mow The view from the Hotel Hafnia roof - the grass-covered shed is the Natur Helen and the famous Torshavn skyline Helen on the roof
Casting a shadow Paul almost causes an eclipse The bird on the way to see birds Helen on the boat cruise to see the Westmanna birdcliffs
The rival boat company tour We needed a bigger boat - they had it! Salty? The Atlantic waves crashing against the boat
"I'm the king of the world" Maurice fae Forres at the helm Sunlight on the cliffs The scenery was breathtaking (this is one of around 30 photos - email Paul if you want to see any others)
Auditioning for the Village People Maurice and the Battlebus Commander in one of the calmer moments Gudny & Ved from Bournemouth (via the Faroes & Mauritius) Gudny (from Leirvek) and Ved (from Mauritius), both students at Bournemouth University, on our boat.
I know a song about this Two of the "Light Pilsners" (strength 2.8% ABV) available from the petrol station. Bevvying on Top Deck at the Shell garage The boat trip posse, including the Lebanese guy who does all the hoardings, Tom Small, Dianne, Maurice, Davie, Helen, Steve and Martin
Top trousers The best trousers on the trip (in case you can't make it out, it says "Royal Ass").

Best trousers seen on tour since DenHaagDavid's bondage-wear in Paris

 Anyone for a kick-about? Two turfed igloos
Come on in, the water's lovely The Islands' premier beach resort A great honour The new NATA pennant, as donated to the Manhattan Pub.  Other recipients included the Natur, the Hotel Hafnia and Roi (the bus driver)
Going, going He looks familiar... who can it be? Far gone Well, I'd never!  It's Parker from Thunderbirds!
Don't worry, it's only beer down his jacket He may have gone downhill since he crashed the pink limo when over the limit and Lady Penelope sacked him, but at least he's got a new friend in Steff! Deep breaths Artour, visibly shocked by events
In the dark at the Hotel Hafnia A very dark photo of Steff, Helen, Freda and Tam in the civilised surrounds of the Hafnia hotel lounge What a lovely pair... of knees Steff showing a bit of leg

Helen, taking it easy Helen in the room after finishing the packing Paul puts the boats into perspective Paul in front of the MS Norronna (the Denmark-Shetland-Faroes-Iceland ferry), with the ferry that took us to the game in the background.
Cleopatras, comin at ya, but only from 5pm The inauspicious exterior of Cleopatras (the upstairs bar at the Marco Polo restaurant) The most expensive pub on the Islands And the outside of the Manhattan (the drinking club is 30 yards up the hill on the right)
No chance Tam receives a "KB" from Sigrid the air-stewardess on the bus to the airport... Fancy a nibble? ... when what he was really hoping for some of this!
Where's the Executive Lounge? The plush and extensive facilities at Soravagur International airport One of the airline's two planes Helen in front of the plane.
