A Day on Papa Westray

Our second day in Orkney was spent on the Island of Papa Westray and of course to get there we had to fly on the world's shortest scheduled flight from Westray to Papa Westray. It took 2 mins 48 seconds to fly out there but the return journey was 1 min 18 secs. The weather forecast was good for most of the day with rain moving in at 4.00pm and it was spot on as it started to rain just as we finished our 11 mile walk round the island. The above photo is the Knap of Howart a 5000 year old farmhouse.

The islands always seem to have loads of old abandoned cars bot on Papa we found this very old Steam Roller which must have been almost 100 years old.

John thought Copshaw Golf Course was the worst he has played on but this golf Course at Papa makes Copshaw look like St. Andrews.

Manyof the houses have these old stone roofs from the local stone. Notice the Heart on the gutterning and at the other end is a Club. The Diamond and Spades were on the other side.
