Riding a trike through Orkney
In 2017, after retiring, John and Gill Foster opened the Orkney Trike Tour, providing an experience like no other and a unique way to visit the island.
“We both have a lifelong interest in Motorcycling and History (which Orkney has in abundance). We decided that we wanted others to share the same exciting experience of the wind in your face as you travel around the unique, beautiful and fascinating sites of Orkney.”
And I loved that, therefore and thanks’ to John and his generosity and support, I had the chance to ride through Orkney and explore all its History.
Shetland Nature Safari
On the 5th of May 2019 I disembarked the ferry which took me from Orkney to Shetland Island and met Martha Smith, my tour leader of the amazing Shetland Mainland – Sight Seeing & Safari Tour.
Shetland Nature has been providing exceptional and authentic tours since 2006, focusing only on the island and its natural sights; they are the only ones doing so. Each of their tour leaders are enormously skilled in showcasing the island wildlife and they’re wholeheartedly committed to share with us their passion while remaining environmentally responsible.
