Apparently not and any questions you have about route finding then, at this rate, you will be able to answer yourself....... if you return of course :twisted:

EDIT - sorry - couldn't help myself :)

Ok I will answer myself!
No problem at all!! Just stay above the landslip, along the ridge line. It IS scrubby and it is harder than chapman says in his book. Took us 2 hrs to get there and much less staying along the ridge on the way back!!

DO NOT attempt this is near 40 degree heat...........
