They don't have hills like we do.

Good little report, thanks for posting it up Brads, nice to see the old NF nsx still holding it's own against some flash & expensive competition

Erm, I think they do. Not as many trees on them, but some pretty big country all the same

Lived there for two years. Saw nothing remotely comparable in height to the Southern Alps or even the Ruahines. Swizterland, yes. UK, no.

The highest mountain in the UK is Ben Nevis at 1344m, a mere 2400-odd lower than Mt Cook.

That's true but I've never heard of anyone hunting on Ben Nevis.

Looks like a road right through the middle of there - and anyway the UK hunters aren't going to be strolling far from their range rovers and picnic hampers
