Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I was travelling the first time i passed through and then found work there as it was an ace place all round. Tiny wee village, the kind of place you can go get a crate of beer at 2 am from the shop and pay in the morning, where a slap up meal and a beer would cost less than a tenner, your tripping over f*****g deer and fox. There were mountain goats and antelope things bouncing about, f**k all people, some hares. Great food. Did up an old mountain hut/house for an english guy and then ran a wee hostel/guesthouse for him. Great fun, met some great people, have some amazing stories. It was also a bit like the wild west, we lived next to the police boss for the area and he liked to drink and get his tommy gun out for us to play with. It was mad, in the end me and my missus became some kind of weird fixture in our village, became friends with all the locals and drank way way way too much. Sounds like a great experience Fair play to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
