DUDE! Suckage, but as said before what a view, do you remember the old program "wish you were here", I would love to live around that superb scenery, I know Wales is nice but that's fantastic.

My god Graham, nasty crash, I know how you feel.... Disheartening at first, but you always made it better next time... I was up the top of Nevis 3 weeks ago, beautiful place Scotland..

More or less Lee. Looked at 2nd hand helis to rob parts but no luck. Over £250+ for parts. On there way airborne at the weekend. Battery is a concern not tested it yet

Next time I'm up fort William I'll let you know Graham, you can teach me some tricks...lol

I went along by the glen past the main carpark on the left and started the climb from there... Took me 5 hours to get to the summit, couldn't see anything for the mist.... 4.5 hours to get back down, bloody hard work when your old...lol
