  • Charlie Ramsay and Me: a Tale of Obsession
    SheepSheet Autumn 2015 Johnnie Watson, the Laughing Cavalier – 12th in the 2015 Montane Spine Race Notes from the Editor: It’s been a while and my apologies for the lengthy hiatus between issues but welcome all to the latest edition of the Sheepsheet, Calder Valley Fell Runner’s periodic glimpse into the weird and wonderful world of fell running, adventure racing, and outdoor self-flagellation in general. All of us enjoy some of those, but one man has demonstrated remarkable fortitude in all three at once. It’s been a while since he did it, and my apologies to Johnnie in particular for the lateness of this edition hitting the shelves. His monumental achievement should have been heralded much sooner, but a fanfare is a fanfare, and let’s all blow our bugle to our very own Johnnie Watson for his magnificent 12th place in Montane’ Spine Race. The race is labelled as Britain’s Most Brutal Race, so by my reckoning that makes Johnny the 12th most brutal man in Britain – GRRRRRRR!!!! Not bad for a nurse from Pye Nest! Well done Johnny, and not all of it in borrowed kit either! Johnnie tells us more of his odyssey up central England later. Recent months, as always, have seen superb performances and achievements from numerous club members, some of which are featured here for your enjoyment. We have seen the stellar progression of Ben Mounsey into an international-class runner, which in turn has guaranteed him residency on the back pages of the local sporting press. Again, well done Ben, it’s been a pleasure to report on your heroics and nobody deserves it more due to your graft, skill and determination.

  • Archaeology Development Plan for the Small Isles: Canna, Eigg, Muck
    Highland Archaeology Services Ltd Archaeology Development Plan for the Small Isles: Canna, Eigg, Muck, Rùm Report No: HAS051202 Client The Small Isles Community Council Date December 2005 Archaeology Development Plan for the Small Isles December 2005 Summary This report sets out general recommendations and specific proposals for the development of archaeology on and for the Small Isles of Canna, Eigg, Muck and Rùm. It reviews the islands’ history, archaeology and current management and visitor issues, and makes recommendations. Recommendations include ¾ Improved co-ordination and communication between the islands ¾ An organisational framework and a resident project officer ¾ Policies – research, establishing baseline information, assessment of significance, promotion and protection ¾ Audience development work ¾ Specific projects - a website; a guidebook; waymarked trails suitable for different interests and abilities; a combined museum and archive; and a pioneering GPS based interpretation system ¾ Enhanced use of Gaelic Initial proposals for implementation are included, and Access and Audience Development Plans are attached as appendices. The next stage will be to agree and implement follow-up projects Vision The vision for the archaeology of the Small Isles is of a valued resource providing sustainable and growing benefits to community cohesion, identity, education, and the economy, while avoiding unnecessary damage to the archaeological resource itself or other conservation interests. Acknowledgements The idea of a Development Plan for Archaeology arose from a meeting of the Isle of Eigg Historical Society in 2004. Its development was funded and supported by the Highland Council, Lochaber Enterprise, Historic Scotland, the National Trust for Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, and the Isle of Eigg Heritage Trust, and much help was also received from individual islanders and others.

  • Road to Nowhere?
    Viewpoint Road to nowhere? Time: 15 mins Region: Scotland Landscape: rural Location: The very end of Belford Rd (the C1162), often known as ‘The Glen Nevis Road’, Fort William PH33 6SY Grid reference: NN 17796 68560 Getting there: Drive to the very end of Belford Road. From this car park at the very end of the road, follow the path for about a mile from the far end of the car park along the side of the ‘Water of Nevis’ (River Nevis). Shortly after the valley opens up a large waterfall is visible in front of you. Stop where the path splits. Since leaving the main road, you will have travelled from a flat and wide road which will gradually have turned into a more remote and winding pathway. As the road narrowed and became more of a rollercoaster track than a road with banked turns, steep drops, trees and boulders at every turn you headed deeper into the ever deepening valley. You have now walked a further mile with the rapid River Nevis weaving its way down the mountainside through the gorge to your right. Where does this seemingly ‘road to nowhere’ lead? The answer is all around you - nature, and people’s love for exploring it! Firstly, you can see and probably hear Britain’s second highest waterfall, ‘Steall Falls’. Also known as ‘An Steall’, which is Gaelic for “The White Spout”, this huge, roaring beast of a waterfall is the result of the stream Allt Coire a Mhail literally tumbling off the mountain side. On a clear day, whether in the hot humid summer or the icy colds of winter, this peak and the waterfall traversing it stand out in the open plain like a mirage in a desert landscape.
