So southwest then - I should have known. Doesn't look familiar, the only peaks I have climbed with a view have been in the Western Arthurs and Hartz area, everything else has been in poor weather. Is it in Mt Field area??

Not Sprent no. I've not had much trouble keeping within his times, especially when not carrying a heavy pack, but his frankland times seemed very odd! On both ends of the scale!

Frankland Saddle to Saddle past Secheron he said 6-8 hrs, we did it in around 2.
But to Islet lake he said 5-7 hrs. We took a day (with a late start) and a half!

Not sure how familiar you are with this part of the state. A bit hazy but you should be able to get the general area pretty quickly.

with all the farms below i originally thought gog range but it seems to far to the coast. and that appears to be table cape in the background but i dont know any hills that close, so going off google earth is it Mount Housetop (never heard of it)

Edit: in the unlikely event that i am correct someone else can post an image as i am out of the office for most of the day.

I thought the landscape looked familiar. I don't remember looking west from one of the Dial peaks though, so I'll guess the only one I haven't been up which is also the closest one to the coast - Mt Montgomery.

Hard to tell with that much zoom. The Gnomon?

Nope - Mt Dial is barely even a mountain, its just a lump with trees on it. Only one more major peak left though
