I’m still traumatised by that vid so remembered it. I’m not that good with heights.

I’d be okay to a degree - a few hundred feet, but certainly none of this stuff without a safety line.

Nope, normally heading to Inverness when passing through Carrbridge.

Strange how we never do local things.

Got to about 300ft on one of those things then I came to my senses. I won't be doing it again.

Amazing ! I used to work on 3 or 4 storey roofs and I thought that was high

My hand goes up to them. Why was the other chaps face blurred ? Shouldn't he have been up there or something ? (Or was it Del having a shufty up there
