Hi all, Looking for musings/grounding for a mad idea that Iβm growing increasingly attracted to.
My wife and I are from the Central Belt, cost of property is outrageous and itβs very competitive. Weβre on the cusp of buying a house near our fam, and itβll be achingly expensive, average and suburban.
Weβve also toyed with the idea of yolo-ing it and moving to the highlands. We could just bypass half the shite with offers-over and newbuild shoeboxes.
Downside would be being away from family and not being within walking distance of any pubs. We reckon weβd need to make sure we have a spare bedroom or two to host friends and family, get really into entertaining and staying in instead of meeting people in the pub. Also looking like self-driving cars arenβt too far away, by the time we have school-age kids (5-10 years?) maybe our car will be able to do the school run on its ownβ¦
Weβre both based out of Edinburgh but usually WFH. Iβm not really meant to live that far from the office but I reckon Iβd just suffer the occasional commute and stay overnight with my parents when necessary.
Weβre already into running and hiking in all weathers, plus video games so I feel like weβd have a good shot at adapting.
Plus Iβm looking at headlines around crackdowns on AirBnBs, wondering if we could pick up a cheap one and reverse the dying villages etc by settling down, joining the community and starting a family.
Anyone done this? Any relevant experience or thoughts, warnings?
Hi folks! Moved to Glasgow a few years ago and finally interested in taking up fishing again. Does anybody know any good lakes/lochs/rivers that are good for pike fishing they could point me towards in or around the central belt?

Blake Morgan, CEO, Opawica Explorations Inc. Discusses Its Strong Portfolio of Precious and Base Metal Properties, in Rouyn-Noranda, Abitibi Gold Belt, QuΓ©bec and in Central Newfoundland and LabradorBy Dr. Allen Alper, PhD Economic Geology and Petrology, Columbia University, NYC, USA

We spoke with Blake Morgan, CEO of Opawica Explorations Inc. (TSXV: OPW, FSE: A2PEAD, OTCQB: OPWEF), a junior Canadian Exploration Company, with a strong portfolio of precious and base metal properties, within the Rouyn-Noranda region, of the Abitibi Gold Belt, in QuΓ©bec and in Central Newfoundland and Labrador. This summer, Opawica raised 5.3 million dollars, with a lead investment from Eric Sprott, and they are starting a very robust 10,000 meters drilling campaign, at their 100% owned Bazooka property that occupies seven kilometers of strike length, along the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt, on the Cadillac Larder Lake Break. The Company is working closely, with GoldSpot, on target generation. Opawicaβs other significant property is the Arrowhead property, completely surrounded by Agnico Eagle, a major gold producer of the Abitibi area.

Dr. Allen Alper: This is Dr. Allen Alper, Editor-in-Chief of Metals News, talking with Blake Morgan, who is CEO of Opawica Exploration. Blake, I wonder if you could tell us a little bit about your Company, give us an overview, and also tell us what differentiates your Company from others and about your properties in Newfoundland and, and also Quebec.
Blake Morgan: Certainly Al, thanks for having me on. Opawica is a junior Canadian exploration Company. We have a strong portfolio of assets in the Rouyn Noranda camp, on the Abitibi gold belt, in Quebec. We also have 40,000 hectares in the new gold rush zone of Newfoundland. In June, we recently raised 5.3 million dollars, with a lead investment from Eric Sprott, who put in about 1.6 million dollars and the raise was done at 40 cents, with a half warrant at 60 cents. Then we did some flow-through at 50 cents, with a half warrant at 60 cents. We only have 37 million shares out, so we're very tight. We put that capital togeth

Evening all,
Recently, I've been offered the option to buy a house at a competitive price. Thing is, it's a Dorran (non-standard pre-cast reinforced concrete panel) house. I've spent the last month learning as much as I can... and realizing I know nothing about the construction process.
(Turns out watching every single episode of Grand Designs isn't an adequate substitute.)
Does anyone have experience (either personally or professionally) and wouldn't mind answering a few questions?
Yours faithfully,
The Meanderer, Esquire
