At last... :clap: But what a difference a year makes, eh? April 2019 to April 2020. I had Covid-19 by the end of April 2020. :shock: As for ancient burial mounds in Conan Stylee, I think we should build a series of them throughout the highlands as emergency dosses. We could use Mae's Howe as a template. I may be able to access a ready supply of skeletal remains to populate them with...

Gil, thanks to you, Caberfeidh and all the other responders. It's been really interesting, and I should have replied sooner. Your 1981 photos are kind of how I remember it. Taking a couple of Ukrainian refugee friends up to Inveroran for a few days camping soon, so I might check it out.

All the best,
Paul

You're welcome. Slava Ukraine! I was on a vessel on the Black Sea a while back, doing something old grumpy-pants putin would disapprove of. So much so that his submarines sowed mines around us. Bugger them, Ukraine will defeat them.
