> It's a long way out into the Atlantic to St Killda so it's really the cost of fuel that dictates the price of trips there. It's also tricky to land in anything but perfect conditions. Good luck with getting there, it is worth the effort
Thanks , I guess the best chance to reduce the cost is to get more people interested to share expences. There was one guy at work who did show an interest, but he is just back from Lybia and then went straight off to Thailand , so he may be 'travelled out ' for this year.
I usually go off on my own, as I can just go when it suits me, where it suits me, but this trip may need a bit of planning/ sharing of expences.
( I took my car all the way to Shetland, so perhaps the cost of getting me to StKilda is not that much more for such an experience. )
