Myself and seven others are TA members based in Edinburgh veterans of Prague, World Cup, San Marino, Belgium etc etc. † I heard about the Hebrides Bar charter and we tried in vain to get on it. †So we thought stuff that and we are currently trying to charter our own aircraft.
I have a broker looking for an aircraft at the moment, approx eighty seats, it would fly from Inverness on the Sat morn and return on the Sunday afternoon. †I know it is a short period of time in the Faroes but it keeps the cost down. †The likely cost will be 200-250 per person.
What I need is the bodies to fill it, if you are interested call 077 40 20 34 28 and I will give you more details.

Excellent Shandy, we've been trying to arrange a shorter trip ourselves so you can put me down for 3 (maybe more) if it comes off!
I'll give you a call later on to discuss.

Hi Shandy. I like the sound of the short nature of your trip (cant afford anything else at the moment).
If you manage to get it organised and you're looking for a body to fill one of the seats (or possibly two, if I can talk my mate into going), let me know and I'll be delighted to oblige.

Fair play to you Shandy Andy!
Good luck fella,
I have a list of email addresses who are on my standby list, however most of them may have fixed up something by now. If you want i can email them to you, i am sure the guys who have given me thier emails won't mind, and if they do then they can let me know and i wont forward on their address.
Cheers

Have you thought about accomodation in the Faroes on the Saturday night? I'd be interested in going (2 seats) but I know that accomodation is pretty scarce.

Apparently all the hotels were full donkeys ago, but there are a couple of campsites in Torshavn. I don't mind roughing it for one night.

We have not yet worked out how we will be getting to Inverness, worry about that once TA airforce is off the ground. Accommodation in the Faroes sounds as though it is going to be a tent in the backgarden of one of my mates relatives. I will put everyone who has responded on to the list and when the flight has been confirmed I will post it on here.

For those who need an alternative, I think Maersk Air fly from Copenhagen, which you could get to with Ryanair from Stansted.
Roundabout kind of way, but where needs must...

I'd be interested in this as well if you manage it. ££'s are short due to Iceland so a one-nighter for the faroes would be magic!!
GOOD LUCK!!

Is there anymore news on this charter flight. I have 3 people who are 100% about going and I am about 70%.
Anyone else who has any new ideas on how to get to the Faroes please let me know.
Cheers

Sorry I have been away on holiday for a week. †The news so far we have 26 definates for the trip we need another 47. †Plan B is to charter a smaller plane for the 26 same deal, same departure dates and venues etc. †Tina who is the very nice lady broker helping me organise this is currently searching these options. †The cut off for the eighty seater will be June 14, if we have not reached enough by then, plan B will come into force. †My battery on mobile is knackered call me on 07718 804 132 for further details.
