So I find this interesting because Auchlunkart is north of Glenfiddich and the Fiddich river and is on a tributary the feeds into the Fiddich river called the burn of Auchlankart.
I'm in sounds like a blast.
We just need to look at the roof tops to know we are in the right area according to the above.

Lets do it in summer. I don't fancy standing up to the high kilt line in a Scottish river in winter. And if we are pub crawling from Wales, some of those mines are quite.... damp these days too.
@cotedupy, did you get your scuba licence yet? All the good stuff is at the bottom.
Thank you sir. I figured you would know. Bbw was described as a schist in henks though right? I don't know the difference honestly
I chuckled at that, but you are probably spot on!

Oh god, I'm going to have to come out as the only person on the forum who doesn't like whiskey. Do I get banned again now...?
Ah I've been diving for years, I just didn't much fancy it at Dorothea, aka 'The Pool of Death'.

My sister did go swimming in it at the weekend though. She does quite a lot of coldwater swimming, and I've never heard her comment on temperature before Saturday. She guessed it couldn't have been more than about 3 - 5c in there.
I think translating geological terms between languages is sometimes a bit tricky. In ErieS' ongoing efforts with the French paper they're described as phyllite, which I think is probably quite accurate. It's kinda like an intermediary stage between slate and schist.
It's only the pool of death because people who swim to the bottom are trying to swim back to the top with their pockets full of nice looking slate pieces.

... and their blood full of boiling nitrogen.
My sis a PADI instructor and was terrified when I showed her this vid at the weekend, the more you know about diving the more frightening it is. You need years of professional tech dive training and a ton of specialist equipment to be doing what is effectively cave diving at 100m. These are the kinds of people who go to the bottom of the North Sea to fix bits of oil rigs, or rescue Thai children out of flooded mountains.
Eh, I don't know if you get banned for not liking whiskey but..... really?? I wish I didn't like whiskey.
Wait all Scotch Whiskey? It comes in a lot of varieties.
There's no such thing as Scotch Whiskey. Harumph!
Nice catch. I didn't even notice when I typed it. I guess I was just coping what Steve and Oli wrote. So maybe Oli does like Scotch Whisky then just not Whiskey.
