Alright 20 quid is there.
16 hours 35 minutes and 20 seconds is my guess.

I used to stay in Plockton - I put the hangar on the airfield back in '83 for North Scottish Aviation/ Bond Helicopters. Still there?

Yep, we originally stayed as B&B with the Rev Lamont, but we were found alternative accomodation much more suitable to our nocturnal liquid activities in the Plockton Hotel, run by Callum(?) at the time.
It all looks a bit racy now, with 3 hotels and a rake of restaurants.

Used to ferry round Mr Charles Kennedy, and entertain the worthies of the Highlands and Islands Commission during the project. We won the contrasct from Bristow, who ran it off the beach where Loganair used to land on Skye.

There was a mad Sub Lieutenant used to fly round in a Navy Mini off the Submarine base at Kyle, great bloke.

I also remember a Charlie Munro who owned every piece of Plant from Kyle to Inverness, and you had to use him for all earthworks really.

Also loved going out to the then unrestored Loch Clunie Inn, when the bar shut only when the generator stopped. Bit different now.

Alfie has replied, thank him when you see him.
