Staying on Flannan

Not the easiest of landings, nor the most secure-looking steps, but this was the landing place for an expedition to the Flannan Isles in August 2010 by a group interested in radio activities. Follow the full and informative blog entry, from EA2TA George, supplied by

Col McGowan and relish the enthusiasm and achievement of the party. Undoubtedly as well as making world-wide contact by radio waves, the members added to the composition of the island's cairn. There is a gallery of images available through the blog and some 800 photographs are displayed - capturing the place and the essence of the expedition in a sort of latter-day, electronic cairn.
