EDIT: Well, since I apparently started this "thread"... "ILUVSWTAS is a deplorable braggart and his "peak bagging" exploits are nothing more than self aggrandisement!!!"

our real mountins

Oh no, not again...

[Nuts]

our real mountins

Oh no, not again...

Har Har, and at the most vital moment

Given that, im sure someone down there could be convinced to torch their hilleberg

[sthughes]

Thanks but no thanks Hughesie. I think us southerners with our real mountins need our tents more than you blokes do!!

Actually I think perhaps you need your tents to contain your ego's more than we do??


Errr um where are all of the top 10 highest mountains in Tassie? http://www.tasmaniatopten.com/lists/tasmanian_mountains.php

"All"? Massif/Geryon etc are quicker to get to from our end of the state, surely?

[sthughes]

Maybe those two and the Du Cane Range are quicker from the south if you take an expensive boat trip, but the rest are definitely quicker from up here. Besides if you're gonna fork out for a boat you might as well take a helicopter, then they are all much closer to Devonport

I've walked the lake so many times, the boat still almost feels like good value.

Funny thing, the peakbagging list is often a pretty good gauge of quality peaks... Fedder 10, PB 9, Diamond 8, Geryon Sth 8, Frenchies 7, Anne 6, Coronation 6, Humbolt 6, Spires 6

Definitely good value that boat.

Aren't we lucky in this state to have so many great mountains in the south and then have plenty more in the norf etc.

Stops too much traffic in the one area and gives a nice little stirring point. I must remain neutral as I live in the south and walk largely with northerners.

Still, main thing is we all get out and have fun.

DING!! you win the prize Ollster.

Dont need a tent up north, every mountain has a cushy *&%$#! hut on it.

Peak baggers guide puts high value on the southern peaks just so that people bother venturing down there, why else would they bother

Does the boat leave from different places for people up north??

Peak bagger is that another name for boaster OOh! look at me I have so many points that I need to tell everyone about ,a couple of you were still in short pants when I did some of them and I am really happy that you are able to still bag one or two but do we really need to know the points score,this bushwalking thing is meant to be fun not a bleeding competition

Just because your old doesnt mean you get respect.

Har de har. Anyway, ILUVSWT looks more the part of a crazed prophet than I do.

That and "the skinny". You can't have fat cult leaders or prophets, it's just not the done thing.

[EDIT: I can't believe people paid $600 for a $500 tent. Ah ha. I'll know where to come to sell my overpriced grey imports now.]
