This list is everything you are going to need when you visit Shetland. Everything from weather gear, to midge spray, luggage and more.
I love this case - it is perfect for up to 6 nights away
Aerolite Trolley Case
The best way to keep all your toiletries organised, saves loads of time and stops your toothbrush getting covered in cleaning chemicals
Hanging Wash Bag
My phone can be handy no matter where the power socket is located!
5m Long Travel USB Charger Cable
These fit over the ear rather than in the ear. Recommended to me by a guest who wore them for shooting and I used them ever since!
7 Pairs of Silicone Ear Plugs
I love these for travelling and the gym - sound is good too
Inexpensive earbuds which are ideal for travelling
I have these when travelling just in case
Wired headphones as a backup when travelling
This is a handy way to keep all your travel documents organised and easy to find when you need them
Travel Document Holder
This has plug socket adapters for the world
4 Port Charger Plug for multi charging of devices
I love these - not too gingery that they actually make you sick but with enough ginger to help keep mild travel or motion sickness at bay
Warming Ginger Sweets for Travel Sickness
If I am going to be travelling on a boat or ship then I take these in advance. They prevent my travel sickness with no side effects
Ginger Tablets - Made in the UK
I take these if I am travelling somewhere where I think food hygiene standards might be a bit lower - they have helped me avoid tummy troubles in the past, when group members have suffered
Travel Probiotics
This has helped me find places to eat, supermarkets, cashpoints and cinemas amongst other things when travelling. Very handy
AroundMe - Travel App (It's Free)
This helps me get to sleep most nights. There's so many travel stories to enjoy - I love drifting off hearing about places I have visited or plan to visit
Calm Sleep App
I love this eye mask. It helps me sleep when there is loads of light pollution, and it's great for naps too
Cotton Eye Mask with adjustable nose section
This hat will keep your head and ears warm no matter how windy the weather gets in Shetland, and it will stay on your head too. I've tested it in 70mph Shetland winds
HEAT HOLDERS Womens Ribbed Cable Knit Beanie
I love the neck warmer and have a matching hat and neck warmer set. They keep me so cosy when it's cold and windy in Shetland
HEAT HOLDERS Women's Thermal Neck Warmer 3.5 tog
Leather gloves are great when travelling. I like the extra grip they give when I am navigating handrails, escalators and stairs etc
Kordear Women Winter Warm Leather Gloves
Yes Shetland does get midgies and on the days when the wind is a bit lower they can be a right pain
Smidge Midge Repellent Spray 2x75ml Pump
Great packing cubes to keep everthing organised when you travel
Aerolite 6-Piece Expandable Travel Packing Cubes
Love this headtorch. I use it for reading in bed so I just light the book at not the whole room, when I am out walking and working outside in the dark
Blukar 2-Pack Rechargeable 2000L Headlamp
Love this jacket. It keeps out the heaviest of rain and it is fleecy lined as well so it is warm. It's the right size for dealing with the layers you often need for Shetland too
Regatta Womens Daysha Jacket
I don't like the over waterproof trousers, preferring to wear breathable waterproof trousers on days that it is likely to rain. These have a nice shape to them
