Fancy a year in Ardnamurchan?

Remember Taransay? In case you can't, it gave us Ben Fogle. Whether this was a good thing is a matter of opinion.

Anyway, KEO films is advertising for people to spend a year on a fenced-off part of the Ardnamurchan peninsular "to see if it's possible to build a new community from scratch". www.keofilms.com/eden

According the a report in The National, it's not that far from Acharacle, so not nearly as isolated as Taransay, although I guess that participants would probably be kicked out if they were caught sloping out for a pint at the Loch Shiel House Hotel.

Challenge routes (2017, I guess) shouldn't be affected too badly as the core path from Ockle to Gortenfern will be protected.

Sorry, don't know how to do links.

Just as well access to Mr. Grumpy's favourite beach is not affected by this charade. Collect a bunch of misfits and misanthropes together, throw in some weather and miserable food, then laugh while they squabble and moan. No, wait a minute, that sounds like the Challenge. The real winner will be the West Highland midges.

MacGrumpy & Mrs MacG go in by canoe so unless they have the beach protected by razor wire we'll still be able to land!

Can I volunteer my mother-in-law.
