Yepperr. RIght near the turn-off to the Forth Valley lookout.


Looks at map - turn off to Forth Valley Lookout ....ahh - there it is - on the north side of Pine Forest Moor :shock:

PS - probably go with Scott-Kilvert Hut


That was everything I was hoping it to be!

Jerusalem is at least a day away by the shortest route and at least a day and a half the way I went.

Winter is not the ideal time for the Tarkine coast. Wind, rain and flooded rivers are the norm.

You'd think that the airlines would get a bit more flexible given the current situation, and run direct flights between "safe" cities. It might be a bit awkward at first but people would get used to the system quickly enough.

I didn’t think it’d be too hard to get the Lake (no cryptic clue there) and I’m on an Abel.
