Cradle/Reserve Panorama

[ILUVSWTAS]

Here's a pic of a walk a few of us did to a small peak in the NW recently.

[MJD]

Here's one from earlier in the day.

Very nice

Is this an alternative to the "where am I" entries??

[ILUVSWTAS]

Haha your name did come up when we were on this peak Brian!

Care to have a guess??

[eggs]

Either your peak is verrrrry looongggg - or you have been on 2 peaks.

The first one is not Black Bluff - but also nowhere near Roland.
I can see a peak called Stormont at about the right height on the List - or more likely on the plateau to the east of Black Bluff - near Tiger Plain?

Second one is from the Mt Roland area - maybe Mt Claude?
[Although I do wish your photos weren't so grainy when you post them... ]

[MJD]

Indeed. Mark's panorama is from Claude and the other one is from Stormont. Don't know how many he stitched together.

Haha - good on you eggs, I'm no good at Where am I? and was hoping you would clear it up.
Geez - further away than what I was thinking, and no I wont say where I was thinking
Lovely shots Guys

[ILUVSWTAS]

Thanks guys! It was a fun weekend!

Shots are grainy cause I have to scale the size down so much to post them on here..... and my camera is old and crappy

[Bap]

Is there a track up Stormont or is it a Deep Donga excursion. I would love to know how to get there.

[MJD]

It was off track.

[Bap]

Thanks for the quick reply, ta.

[MJD]

Coming back down near the creek in the forest was better than the ridge.

[ollster]

So, didn't get to the top of Stormont then? Hope you guys aren't counting that one.

[MJD]

As you know: (1) peak baggers only go to the high point! (2) we try to return by a different route.

The rule is "the tippy top" IIRC... and by extension this means the tippy top of the actual named mountain peak (ie: the wee triangle thingy), not the massif. That's what I reckon anyway. (nah, just stirring, and still unhappy about being ripped off on Olympus.)

[ILUVSWTAS]

Yes, Aaron my friend. you are only hurting yourself here.
On a PUBLIC forum, let me throw a few words your way

Geyron Nth
Olympus
Bonds Craig
Acropolis


Have you counted any of these?????

[eggs]

Geyron??

[ILUVSWTAS]

Geryon
Geyron

They look the same after 6 cans....

I've been to the tippy top of the peak named Olympus, I've never been near Geryon. Bonds was a best effort with consideration of possible maiming or death from failure, and how do you know I haven't been to the top of the Acropolis? I KNOW you haven't. Come back when you do.

PS: LOL at Geyron. You've been hanging around Dave too much.

[MJD]

Ollster - Peak bagging points 80085. You seem to have had a high scoring weekend - what exactly did you get up?

[ILUVSWTAS]

I think he's been playing on the ol 5 string!

[ollster]

They see me walkin'. They hatin'.

I get bonus points for Geyron.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Yr a strange fella Oll.

Why arent you out walking anyway?

[ollster]

Strange? How so?

I was. Az and I went for a walk out to Connection. We did a bit of a recon on bikes, but decided it was too far to get out to Marion/Charles/Pat during winter solstice (yay!!!).

[ILUVSWTAS]

A pic of an eagle walking on water not good enough reason to call you strange??

ah yeh nice! The ol' connection! Bit of a nothing peak, short off track section kinda fun!!

No, you'll need to do better. Quite true, a nothing peak. It should not be on the list... very poor, but it was better than sitting inside writing crud on the forum. Oh bugger...

[ILUVSWTAS]

Hehehe yeh I hear ya. We went for a drive down to the Picton river for a look. some good water flow at the moment!

It wasnt on the old list!!
The Knuckle was 2 points on the old list, but not on the new at all! And it's higher than Sphinx AND Pavement. the list is a shamble of debacles!!

[MJD]

Use my list then

I did a quick trip out to Connection this afternoon after driving out to Grey (the gate was shut and I had to walk the last 1km). That's certainly an entertaining drive, especially after rain.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Hehe errr NO! Your list gets a look occasionally as a point of reference or interest, BUT 1000 peaks is a tad overwhelming.

Nice, Yeh I bet Grey would be an entertaining drive!! I walked the 20 odd k's when I did it!

Didnt bump into 2 scruffy looking Aarons on bikes while up on Connection did you??

As I said to one of them earlier today, boring walk with a tad bit of off track fun.

[MJD]

It's getting a bit longer as well. I'm adding the "Bob Browns" that weren't on it before. Almost finished.....
