ACHARACLE

Detailed photos - April 2024

The update list called for detailed photos. I came here after visiting Castle Tioram and the Silver Walk, a 4 mile circuit which I highly recommend.

I tucked in the verge at the start of the track which leads to the site. I should've simply followed this track, but it had estate or fishing pool written on a sign, which threw me off. I instead walked straight up the hill, trying to find a way through the trees and gorse.

The transmitter hut and tower are a little way from each other, it's a steep hill and there's not enough room at the top for the hut, which is at the bottom of a steep bank.




Two tiers of 120 degree crossed log periodics for transmit.


Rx aerials pointing at Torosay 21 miles away.




I wonder if the empty compound on the left was for the mobile phone networks? The gear now seems to be at the base of the tower. The tower is on the left up the hill.




A new looking Arqiva sign around the base of the tower.
