Dalwhinnie On The Level
Oh dear , time to dig out an old selfie shot taken back in 1974 when I was surveying and on that infamous job at Dalwhinnie in the Highlands of Scotland .
I spent a couple of months wandering over the Highlands there checking levels and in such undulating countryside it seemed to take forever . The digs were ok ( a double fronted shop/post office which I have since seen in a Micheal Caine film ) . However what with a terrible greasy spoon one end and a far too posh and expensive hotel the other food consisted of scotch pies , Mars Bars , bananas , sarnis and Lucosade or diet was far from ideal - no wonder after the last day of eleven hours after each stint we would jump in the car and drive home over 500 miles through the night --- not recommended !!
