Slættaratindur: As Tough To Climb As It Is To Pronounce?
YES! Today I am in the Faroe Islands, and I am taking on two of their biggest challenges: 1. summitting their tallest mountain, and 2. attempting to pronounce it. (And spoiler alert, at least one of those is going to end in failure.)

Bus route to Gjógv: https://www.ssl.fo/en/timetable/bus/201-oyrarbakki-gjogv
(Connects to the Tórshavn-Klaksvík bus in Oyrarbakki. Please note: outside of summer season, the route only operates ON REQUEST - you need to call and request the bus at least 2h beforehand. They speak English, helpfully.)
