CW circuit round Papa Stour from ferry pier. Hill of Feilie first then the slog out to here in wet and windy weather. North Ness followed for the trig bolt. Had a short 4 hrs on the island, utilized 3.5 taking a steady but leisurely pace and having a 20min lunch stop on North Ness.jonglew26/06/2019
