Looks like an old style bothy to me. Why don't you just unpack your bags and stay there for the next 3 months?

Dear Mark.
Sincere apologies for the delay in replying to your post.
I'm afraid that I can't make Thursday evening, as going to a concert in Kings Place.
How are you fixed for next week.
All the best,
Enoch

Oi, you two. Go and loiter on someone else's blog.
