FAQ

Do I need to bring anything?

We recommend wearing what you might for a walk on the beach, where you might get your feet wet. Wellies, strong boots or on warmer days, wet shoes or boots are ideal. On colder days, wetsuit gloves help with cold fingers if you are getting your hands wet all session. Otherwise, we will provide trays, buckets and ID guides.​

Where are you based?

We are based in Sandwick, in the South of Mainland, Shetlands largest island. Our session predominantly take place on the rocky shore at Leebitten, near Sandsayre pier and the Mousa Museum (see the map at the bottom of our home page). You can reach us by Bus from Lerwick on the No. 6 service, which will stop at the top of the hill 500m away. Occasionally sessions will be based elsewhere in Sandwick or further afield, see specifics of your booking for more details.​

What facilities are there nearby?

There are ample parking spaces (including disabled spaces) and public toilets at Leebitten, and Hoswick has a cafe that is open most days in Summer a 5 minute drive away. There is a local Spar in Sandwick too.​
