Strangely fascinating:
Plum, I totally agree and to my mind, steelworkers back then were a lot braver than I, the way they appear to have little regard for their own safety. ^:)^

In tidlig sommertid 1971, a friend of mine died when he accidentally went over the side of Trollstigen at the wheel of an HGV. He was newly marrried and had everything to live for.

It's a terribly unforgiving place.

RIP, Helge.

WE NEED MORE

Can I catch everyone's attention please?

Ops-Normal is running well and is pretty active. What we really need now is 'fresh blood', so if you have any likely joiners you can contact either in TOP or elsewhere, please do. Spread the word!
