>Hiking up Glen Affric, quite possibly the most beautiful place in the Scottish Highlands
>Following river through thick pine forest
>Suddenly come upon a big hydroelectric dam (see pic). Wasn't expecting that.
>I'm a bit annoyed at seeing it in this beautiful place and figure whoever built it owes me, so I decide to poke around a bit
>Going over the river and into the base of the dam is the walkway you can see in the pic
>Have to climb over razor wire and edge along the outside of the fence with nothing below me but rushing water
>Cross walkway, kick flimsy door open -- in retrospect I'm not sure why I thought this was a good idea
>Had my headlamp with me and spend about half an hour exploring the pitch black tunnels
>seriously tempted to press "emergency shutoff switch"
>Climb 50 foot ladder up to top of dam (there was a safety cable running alongside the ladder, I attached my belt to the mechanism so I wouldn't fall)
>Pop out through hatch, monkey around the scaffolding on top for a while
>Realize someone might be in the office at the head of the service road
>Re-create scene from Goldeneye where I sprint across the top, head downstream to cross back and get my bag
