    Pole change from yesterday. It was STEEP. Digger made road up. We changed an inter to a section. Didn't stop raining all day .
    Don't know wether it looks as steep in pics. When we got the poles up there we had to drive bars in at the butts to stop them sliding down.

    Default Great Pics Bren

    I like the ROW cut through the trees. I did a transmission job as an ape that went through a heavily treed area and it looked like a huge lawnmower had gone through it. The trees were cut below the line and to the side but left to grow up into it later!

    Not what ya think. The line was there before the forest was planted. So they didn't cut the trees. ......... They left a gap where the line was when planting...

    I would love to try fishing up here poot. I do a lot of fishing in Ireland. But . Not the type of fishing they do up here. They "only really fly fish". I tried it. NOT A CLUE ...

    They call them lochs........ After awhile. Ya don't see the scenery anymore JUST DIFFICULT TERRAIN...... Which is a shame. Coz it is pretty.

    I almost forgot you were Irish. . .I used to watch boxing and I thought if a Mexican was put up against an Irishman this was going to be a good fight. You can hardly knock out a Mexican fighter and you can't discourage an Irishman. . . .what a fight!
