    I think I might need to confirm this wallow for myself @Tahr . I can only do this if you provide me with the GPS co-ordinates please, this would be greatly appreciated..... I'm on day 4 of a 10 day isolation with my family. Hoping I don't catch the 'rona' from them and have to start my own 10 days. My only recon has been satellite and topo planning on new ground I want to get into thus far. Although I have been able to go through all my gear and now reorganize my pack, etc.

    I don't like your chances of avoiding it @Projects

    Mole Tops. The head of Watson Creek. You are more than welcome to come and have a look. Good luck getting a 4WD anywhere near it though.

    Saw/heard two wild stags roaring on the weekend...
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    waited for the rain afew weeks ago to pass then head out, headed out to a washed out access fuck, looked at the map ok 500km trip to the west coast and back to get in from behind.
    Got to the track took 1hr to walk 600m of the track years worth of snowfall trees across the track and because its a 15k walk to a campsite then another 15k to get to the spot i wanted
    to hunt pulled the pin on what was a spectacular week of weather for hunting high country. Headed onto google to see when access would be restored to the original spot well not open
    by 9th march now open by mid march so not the best start but still need a cold spell to get them fired up so not the worst news
