A view over Beinn-nan-Sparra forest in throes of planting preparations. The team are taking advantage of some nearby dead ‘Granny Caledonian Pine’ firewood for the Cannich bothy. Bill comments ‘It was 150 years old plus and full of resin and you had to sit 10 foot back from the fire in the bothy but you soon dried out! Not very PC these days I suspect, ‘Deadwood’ etc.

This is Rura Wladyslaw’s Land Rover with 621 Jonsered saw and the old ‘Dunlop’ safety wellies with the ‘cooling fins’ up the front and steel toe caps, stuffed in the load. Note the bag with the chain saw tools’

Thats the first Land Rover I ever drove! It would be interesting to go to that junction in the road and take another photo of my now series three Land Rover there. Comment left on 25 August 2015 at 11:34 by Iain Pocock

Aye Iain,
Pleased you found the site and the image. I suspect there will be a bit more 'shrubbery' about and maybe some SS, if they haven't been purged for 'ecological' reasons. :¬)
Good health to you and yours. Comment left on 26 August 2015 at 22:03 by Bill Rayner
