Plans

David Miller's Plans

I will jump in the car with the family ( Katie, Ryan and Chloé ) and head to the hash point for around 11am.

We ended up going at sunrise and beating the rain there! --DavidMiller 08:45, 27 August 2012 (GMT)

Reports

David Miller's Report

So we all got up at 4.20am. Tired as hell I had to have a coffee this morning! After everyone got dressed and got their stuff together, we headed to the car, at this point it's pitch black outside!


I set up the sat-nav to take us to the WhiteHill viewpoint. This was not an easy task and I had to scroll over a map, which looked very different from the one I was looking at on my phone. Once I found where it was that we needed to go we headed off.


Around 30 minutes later we arrived and gathered our bits. The sun is just starting to light up the sky. I checked the GPS on my phone and proceeded in the direction that I thought we had to go. It was a nice 15 - 20 minute walk later that we found ourselves at a gate that I had to climb over. I got over, the kids then climbed over, and then Kate was the only one left. Before she attempted to climb, I noticed that the gate had a latch, and it could be opened. It turned out that no climbing was needed after all!

We proceeded to walk a further 3 - 4 minutes and finally reached the hash point. I took some photos of the sunrise and of us. Unfortunately there was nothing around for us to make a marker to say we had been there. So we just headed on back to the car after around 15 minutes of photo taking.


When I have some free time, I intend to go back there and explore the area some more. It looks amazing and deserves a proper investigation.
