[edit] Stay safe

Be aware that sheep can be on the street, it can be difficult to spot them especially at night and if the sheep is black. The mountains on the west coast are very steep and suddenly they end and go strait down to the ocean, there are normally no warning signs, so take care! The edge can be a bit loose, don't go too near the edge. Like elsewhere in the Faroes fog can come quite suddenly, be aware of the fog, that you don't go over the edge somewhere. In some places the ocean can be dangerous, if you stand on the coast in certain places or in certain harbors.
