Heh.

All wrong.

(i lied about it being in the shipping forecast then).

There's only one of 2 island groups it could be....

bah.
the scillies then?

North East of the Outer Hebrides wouldn't get you to the Scillies unless you went a very long way.

There are 2 major island groups not mentioned in the shipping forecast. They both lie off the north coast of Scotland.

Keep pressing, keep guessing, as you might say...

(the scilly isles only has one airport anyway)

The shetland islands?

50/50 chance of getting that right, Darcle...

And you got it wrong. ... next person to get it will scoop the dubious spoils

That's very noble of you Darcle, but you should have a guess anyway... not had a question from you in a while.

Orkney?

Ive had a few weeks abroad so only got back this week.

Good to have you back sir...

Yes! The answer is Orkney... the flight runs between the islands of Westray and Papa Westray. It is a 2 minute flight, but this can be as little as 45 seconds if the wind blows the right way.

Over to you darcle...

Ok thanks Sir...

Well my question is:

What year was the oldest lighthouse in the UK built and where is it sited?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 11:49 am

I'm going to guess Land's End in 1778

darcle · Post by **darcle** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 11:59 am

A long way out on the year and about 300 miles west.

i'll guess somewhere on the north east of england which the danes might have built. whitby?

edit. oh the year: 1050?

darcle · Post by **darcle** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 12:03 pm

Too far north and still along way off on the year UP.

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 12:10 pm

I'm going to guess .... the other end of Englnand... therefore Kentish direction...

Dover. 1524
