Dave Williams's conversations

Boughton resident said:

Known locally as "The Grotto". Set in "Grotto Spinney". It is a permanent spring. Although it is higher than much of the surrounding area, it seems never to run dry. I was once told that it used to supply water for the village of Boughton, which is a short distance down the hill from this spring. I don't know if this is true.

What has Franscica Barracks been turned into? I read recently on 'ARRSE' (British Army website) that the old barracks had been totally demolished now (as of December 2010).

Do I have any happy memories of 28 Sig Regiment here between late 1964 to January 1968 - Hmmm? Well, some and then again not really. The place was a sh*tehole, except when I made 'reality go away' with evenings on the 'wee' in the NAAFI Junior Ranks Bar. All Part of history now, as I look back on my so-called 'Illustrious Military Career'. I managed to get to the dizzy height of Lance Corporal whilst at 28 Sigs. But hey, 'Thats Life'. Here I am now in retirement in sunny Essex, England a 'Grump Old Geezer'.

Ah, well... time for bed, Matron is coming round with the Meds again. She said I can go down the Pub at lunch with my invisible friends and reminisce about all those 'Snell-Zug' crash outs we had to do back in the 1960s. Ah, farewell old barracks..... ahah!!!

Y pensar que bajar por este valle era mucho más fácil que bajar por el lado chileno, para los sobrevivientes uruguayos.

Ola Alexisalive, sou brasileiro e entendi perfeitamente sua explicação em inglês. Pela primeira vez alguem me deu uma boa explicação a respeito! :-) Sou um grande admirador do cone sul, principalmente da cordilheira dos andes. Viiajo muito de carro para lá (ecgrigolo.blogspot.com). Estou começando meu blog. Muito obrigado pela explicação. Desculpe não escrever em español ! Eduardo

A todos aquellos que emprendieron ese viaje el 13 de octubre de 1972, a los que estan en el Cielo como a los que estan aun aqui en la tierra, que Dios les Bendiga, desde Guatemala mi respeto y toda mi admiracion.

Creio que esta foto foi tirada em janeiro ou fevereiro, porque quando os sobreviventes do avião foram salvos, em 23 de dezembro, o Vale estava cheio de neve ainda. 23 de dezembro já está em pleno verão! É normal estar cheio de neve ainda? No fundo do vale aparece um tapete de vegetação rasteira, parecendo musgo. Tem como sair do vale indo em direção da Argentina?
