quickie before the lakes meet
 

Went out this afternoon in the bright sunshine. First stop at Dalachy, the site of a ww2 air base. One of the main runways is still rideable and you can get to the control tower from the main road to Spey Bay. We also managed to have a quick look at the operations room which is now owned by a local who seems to be using it as a garage.The owner pointed out the wall which was originally covered by a map of the Norwegian coast. Below it was the massive table which I'm sure most of us have seen on the old films with the movements being tracked. On another wall a the remains of a blackboard with ETA's etc - amazing.
The control tower.

Then a trip onto forest tracks which was cut short after trapping my foot under the bike during ANOTHER slow off. Another vote for wearing protective gear - still bl..dy sore and swollen tho. Jeez I really need to learn to ride this bike.

Cheers - 5 hours in A&E, two batches of X rays, 3 different doctors and still not sure what Ive done to it. I'm supposed to be getting a phone call in the morning from the orthopaedic consultant once they have had a chance to review things! As long as I can still ride the bike to the lakes I'll be happy.

We owe these places a lot more respect than we give them.
