Paul crosses the great natural harbour of Scapa Flow to the island of Flotta, before heading round the main Island of Orkney to Stronsay.

On this journey, Paul crosses the great natural harbour of Scapa Flow to the island of Flotta, before heading round the main Island of Orkney to Stronsay, and from there travelling north to the stunning beaches of Sanday. Along the way, Paul discovers stories of World War One, a mysterious beast and Orkney Selkies.

He then embarks on his most difficult island Grand Tour to date, where every destination has been long abandoned by people. There are no ferries, no piers or proper landing at these islands, making it quite a challenge to get there.

Paul's journey sees him travel to the once inhabited island of Heisgeir, sail around the gannet city of Sula Sgeir and endure rough seas to finally make landfall on the extraordinarily remote island of North Rona.
