So, time to take a walk through forest a couple of miles each morning and evening…Or suck up a 60mile extra trip…There is a queue of local cars already in various houses on outskirs or woodland entrances..

.

the detour goes via Aberfeldy, there’s a distillery there i believe,… 😀

It is a fine one. I have a glass in my hand at present. Currently my favorite whisky.

Is this turning into a whisky thread or a ‘how dippy is the council’ thread?
In May 2012, especially for SSDT week, the council in Fort William had the road up at the turnoff for Mallaig, the year before they had it up at Onich both causing major bovver!
Whoever manages road repairs up there is a dipstick.

Anyway, I’m off to Islay in two weeks & I’ll be bringing some whisky back. (the roads on Islay are atrocious BTW)

Which bit are they closing Matt- just before you cross the bridge? Raft the falls?

Leave early and finish late?

Meh, it seems they are lax in arriving and keen to depart, and having had butts kicked by villagers via social media and BBC website, the work (that was a week) is to be done in two days.

Raft the falls?

I did discuss today leaving the canoe at Lix for a quick ride home…
