  Funnily enough, has police from Inverness on the phone last week. They think it was an electrical fault but are still investigating. Hope to see you over the new season!

Unfortunately the sky dive had to be postponed as the weather didn’t was against us (apparently it was too windy). Sean was the most disappointed and will be getting another sky dive booked as soon as he can… so watch this space!
