That’s some record, Andy

9:41am Monday 3rd September 2007

You could say Andy Strangeway has slept around a bit.

In a bid to set up a new, oddball record, he has just become the first person to spend the night on all 162 islands around the Scottish coast.

Now Andy is writing a book about his exploits, which in some cases involved him stepping off a moving boat on to an uninhabited island.

Like the intrepid adventurers before him who conquered Everest or the Antarctic, Andy has braved the dangers of the elements in his quest, which took four years.

We just wonder what his B&B bill amounted to.
