Tall Trees?
Mon, 8 May 2006 14:39:49 +0100
Does the name "Tall Trees" mean anything to anyone?

It's probably worth no more than a footnote to WWII history, but I'm
curious.

A really interesting hydro station
Sun, 07 May 2006 10:42:56 -0400
Finally finished my pages about Ceannacroc:
http://www.corestore.org/Cean.htm
There's a lot of underground material there - I visited it during a
complete refurbishment, so was able to get into the underground power
station, the tailrace tunnel, the adit, the low pressure tunnel, the
surge shaft - the works ...

Another hydro station...
Sat, 06 May 2006 11:19:36 -0400
Just finished my pages on Quoich:
http://www.corestore.org/Quoich.htm
A huge rockfill dam, but not a great deal of underground interest.
This will be more than compensated for by the next station I do,
Ceannacroc, where I have a *lot* of underground coverage.

Geological survey (a bit OT)
Sun, 30 Apr 2006 10:16:29 GMT
Anyone recall - or was involved in the survey where miles of probes were put
into the ground alongside roads and then a convoy of truck came along and
thumped the ground?
It was a mammoth project as I saw the convoy in many places over a period of
many years.
I have tried to access the British Geological S ...
