Question Radio failure

Hi guys.

Ok, so I've looked EVERYWHERE for a proper answer to this (including the official ANO stuff) and not found a clear, consistent answer.

What do I do when I have radio failure up here in Orkney? The nearest radar is in Shetland. Say I'm out on a local flight and I'm giving position reps to Kirkwall every 15 mins or so, and all of a sudden my radio goes dud? I can't enter back into Kirkwall ATZ without permission and how would I know where other commercial traffic is?

Squawk 7600 ident, and fly over Kirkwall at 2000ft look for light signals? What if there are none?

Hope this hasn't been posted before. I checked and couldn't see anything.

Cheers!
