After that experience, perhaps you might enjoy a viewing of The Heroes of Telemark?! I love rounding off my walks with some cultural research based on my encounters out there.
Thank you! Yes - maybe plodding along a scarred track in the mist induces a reflective frame of mind...
The power station certainly suggested Telemark! On a related matter, I remember reading that some of the training for the Telemark operation was done at Loch Morlich, and that shell cases and other debris from the training have occasionally been found on the shore.
A couple of years after that, we were on a family holiday in Aviemore, between Christmas and New Year. It was very cold, and the lochs were frozen. We walked out on Loch Morlich, and suddenly my 5 year old daughter pointed down through the ice and said "What's that?" We looked, and it was a shell casing, lying on the bottom under the ice.
