Ben Alder

It was freezing....
It's also a long, long walk from Dalwhinnie just to get anywhere near the mountains, so did more of a flatland walk instead to the bothy that would be a great start-off point if you stayed there overnight and tackled the Munros next day.
Still, it was not a wasted day, and spent a good while watching the rescue chopper hovering over the cliffs, so need to check the news and see what was going on.

Also checked out the church that has just been built on the estate, and the helicopter hanger that has been built into the hillside.

Monday, and back to work. We fitted the roof onto the Hobbit, then got the 4th coat of varnish onto the Wee Hobbit, so a very productive day.

Sunday off

All going well with the latest build that will be going to the SECC.  So much so, that we decided to have Sunday off.  Gary will no doubt be a lazy sod and have a lie in, whilst I'm setting the alarm for 'silly o'clock' and heading up North.

Going to Dalwhinnie, unfortunately not the distillery, but onto Ben Alder estate as there is a new gatehouse been built, and by the pics I've seen, it looks stunning, so hoping to see that.

Then heading on to Culra Bothy, and I believe there's a rickety (does that mean scary?) bridge to cross.

The weather forecast is looking good.

Then on Monday, it's fitting the roof slates onto the Hobbit and doors and window in on Tuesday.

Caravan show, SECC

Another busy, but good day in the workshop.  We got the roof on the Show Hobbit that's going to the caravan show at the SECC,

Then, whilst I got stuck with the varnishing, Gary decided to make a table to take to Glasgow.  I'm sure he means well, but it looks like a ministers pulpit and he's ready to preach a sermon from it.

Tomorrow, we need to do a few finishing touches to the Wee Hobbit that will also be going along to the show and do some more brochure work.
