Sure, being away from my family for 3 weeks might be challenging but once the trip is done and it’s time to go home the time off with them makes it all worthwhile. In Shetland I love to get out for walks/cycling after work particularly in the long summer months where it doesn’t get dark for very long. Within the accommodation at Sella Ness there is a fully equipped and modern 24/7 gym on site.The Bar is also great place to socialise with friends and colleagues.
