Thanks, lovely open walking. You were responsible for sending me up there so I tried to get a few decent photos.
Wouldn't mind aiming for Harper Point if I get there again. All yours.

It's worth the effort, although it's not quite so open towards the end.

You sound somewhat uncertain. Relax, this is not one of those rare occasions when you get it wrong.

I really have to go back when the weather is better, although it always seems to go off for me at Haven. :(

I was pretty certain - was the text wobbling?
I think it is more polite to put a question mark.
It is a place becoming more distant as an objective with time - but it is on the list.

Nescient? No, surely it can't be, you don't get that clear a view. Well, I didn't.

It lined up perfectly over the shoulders of Dean Bluff and Pelion East but I just don't remember being able to get such a clear view, even right out on the edge of the scarp. Another one I have to get back to in good weather.

Admin:
Is there some way we can handicap eggs in this game?

I don't see a hut ... OK., OK, so the hut is behind me. You're just no fun any more.
