A group of men (FC Staff) working on the first Otter Haven hide built on the Kylerhea narrows just above the navigation light. All hands to the task of mixing, pouring and levelling the concrete base for the hide on a lovely winter or early spring day. Some of the men been tentatively named below but any updates and corrections very welcome. The year has not been confirmed and guessed as at around 1984.
