Most of the hikes there have a distinctly informal nature to them. Since there are no trees, many of the hikes are "Start here. See that hill? Walk up it by whatever means seem most expedient". Which means a lot of walking across sheep pastures...
Thanks for the reply.
FWIW, one of my friends has been trying to persuade me not to do any of this--she thinks it's all beyond my capacity. I don't know her source of information, but she says that Faroes hikes entail a 3,000-foot gain of elevation and last a minimum of six hours. I told her that I know my limits.
