Faroe Islands
I don't know what got me thinking about the Faroe Islands, but has anybody here ever cycled there?
I know they are small and compact and it rains a lot, and you can only ride on the roads, no trails, but I thought it might be fun to ride around the islands.
Any thoughts?

Bring your lights with you, there are many long, unlit tunnels, I hear (from LonelyPlanet). But I've sometimes thought about it, taking a ferry there from e.g. Denmark. That way one could throw Shetland in the mix if time permits. See https://www.smyril-line.com for ferry details.

See the Smyril line web link above. Their ferry visits both, I believe. I don't know if there are others.
