So its friday lunchtime and your thoughts are turning to what you've got planned for the weekend ahead, visit family, do that annoying DIY job you've been putting off, sleep for two days.....So you busy yourself finishing up all those little jobs at work, empty your in tray so you can finish with a clear mind.
Thats not what i do....no no no no, i go out onto a deserted moorland and drive into a hole! Yay!
Ta-da!
So now what do i do? Cry, run around screaming, have a good talk to myself about the idea of camping out for the weekend. Well i looks like i'm gonna have to dig. 3 hours later....i sit back and have a virtual hamlet moment.
So i leave it for the weekend and get a lift home with chris. Stressing over the weekend that a pack of teenage grouse are going to find it and i roll up monday morning with it jacked up on bricks etc. But no, its still there and still stuck! Cue another 5 hours of huffing and puffing with chris to dig it out. Having exhausted our list of de-bogging tricks (we were just digging it deeper) we call on ged to come to our rescue. One phone call later here he comes with a tractor from alocal farm. Piff paff poof and i'm out.
The day was not all lost though, it was sunny, we had beautiful views of the cairngorms and ladder hills and we found this little blighter:
An Emperor mouth caterpillar. This will spend its time on the moorland eating heather and eventually turn into this:
Alls well that ends well. Thanks to everyone that saved me and my toyota, thanks paddy for the company (he ran around alot) and Jim.....can we get a four wheel drive tractor next financial year please?
