Visited this with Bryag on Friday night - absolutely foul weather for it 
It was opened in 1965, and was a 1991 closure.
A little info c/o Subbrit :
We'd visited previously, had no joy getting in, so we WD'd and returned with our new T-bar Key (if anyone needs a technical diagram of a Scottish T-bar key, PM me
)
We opened her up, to discover that things had detiorated since Subbrits visit - seriously flooded!
Bryag got down the hatch, and started pumping - good man
Between his manic pumping, and my hauling up jerrycans full of water, after over an hour, we got it down to a do-able (in wellies
) level, and what a treat it was!
Pics aren't great, no tripod and flash only
Always nice to see one of these:
Unusual to see bunks in a '91 closure :
This contraption had us stumped - any ideas?
This was a master post, all wiring etc. still there, plug and play
Our saviour!
Seems this had always had a problem with damp, there were 3 pairs of wellies hooked on to the top of the ladder when we opened the hatch
The view up :
A few of the Highland posts we've seen have some interesting colour schemes - this had green walls, yellow woodwork, and red everything else
Thank God the carpet was underwater...
Really enjoyed this one, in spite of getting soaked through, must get back when we've more time and get it dried out!
