Apologies... work getting in the way!

Nope, sorry Caberfeidh.

Clue: The Graham top of BT is peeping out at the head of the Glen.

I recognized the broken bridge :lol: :lol:

We visited the Fairy Lochs crash site this summer. Sadly, since our previous visit many pieces of wreckage have been moved around and/or damaged. Some of it may be due to weather but I'm afraid that the popularity of this spot doesn't help :(

Now to the next loch. One for Graham baggers:
