His lorry with Fiskars hydraulic crane is seen here loaded with 25? foot long logs from Forestry Commission Inverinate Forest on the north side of Loch Duich. They look like silver or noble fir logs but uncertain.

On the far side of the loch can be seen what is possibly the steep slopes of Ratagan Forest leading up to the notoriously steep Mam Ratagan road out of shot on the left hand side.
