I am a mechanic by trade. So a lot of the stuff,
you kind of learn in college, kind of doing your mechanic's
course, you know? And then, the rest of it,
you just read all the instruction books or pull things to bits
and find out how it works. But in the harsh
environment of Cairngorm, college training only
gets you so far. Up here, it's word of mouth. There's no instruction
manuals for it cos it's that old. It's passed down like that. From one grease monkey to the next. Anchor it down and away you go. If this lift can't run, they're reliant on the train to get
the customers to the upper slopes, meaning long
queues at the ticket office. So, it's vital P-Man gets
the part fixed quickly and installed
before the competition weekend

kind of doing your mechanic's
course, you know?
00:00:11.004 --> 00:00:14.064
And then, the rest of it,
you just read all the instruction
00:00:14.064 --> 00:00:17.064
books or pull things to bits
and find out how it works.
00:00:17.064 --> 00:00:20.998

00:00:22.008 --> 00:00:24.008
Up here, it's word of mouth.
00:00:24.008 --> 00:00:27.006
There's no instruction
manuals for it cos it's that old.
00:00:27.006 --> 00:00:29.032
It's passed down like that.

00:00:38.088 --> 00:00:41.076
slopes, meaning long
queues at the ticket office.
00:00:41.076 --> 00:00:44.036
