Andy's island record

An intrepid island-hopper has made history after becoming the first person ever to spend a night on all 162 of the islands off the Scottish coast.

Andy Strangeway, of Full Sutton, near Pocklington, has braved severe weather conditions and treacherous seas during his four-year adventure.



Andy embarked on his voyage in September 2003 - inspired by the fact that it was a challenge nobody had attempted.

He accessed some of the islands by ferry and through one-off tourist visits, but to get to some of the more remote islands he was forced to charter a boat and jump off it while it slowly passed the island.
