Not my kind of engineering, but having used the tunnels in the Faroes on many occasions, and knowing a number of people old enough to appreciate and talk about the difference that they have made, I will be very interested to see how this progresses.

I was spinning the light grey Faroe, and thought 'I'm sure I got a jumper's worth of this.' so I went rooting. I'ts even better than a whole jumper's worth of grey!

I must have had a stripey one planned but now I'm wondering if different colour marled three ply where the dominant colour changes would be nice.

Either way it's a big project. So at least I have a bit of colour to stop me getting too bored with it.

According to the Færeyinga saga, the first settler in the Faroe Islands was a man named Grímr Kamban, it may have been the land taking of Grímr and his followers that caused the anchorites to leave. The nickname Kamban is probably Gaelic and one interpretation is that the word refers to some physical handicap, another that it may point to his prowess as a sportsman. Probably he came as a young man to the Faroe Islands by way of Viking Ireland.

Norge is getting a shot of the wind now or shortly by the looks. The Faroe islands must be pretty wild about now too.

The government's ruling, if anything, could be seen as encouraging further killing.

Continuing the exposure of the cruelty of these hunts, growing scientific evidence and increasing international protests and local concerns, we are building strong pressure for change in the Faroe Islands. Together, we can amplify the call to finally end these cruel hunts.

Faroe Islands: Whale & Dolphin Hunt – Change Unstoppable

The hunting of whales and dolphins in the Faroe Islands can come to an end. A change in awareness through information and dialogue is needed.
