No I'm north of lake Skinner
It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is much better at the top.

Is it up north? Maybe from the Milkshake Hills?

It does look very NWish though, but I'm having trouble picking where it is. I don't know if that's a farm or a sand pit in the middle.

I notice a lot of rain in the background which could be obscuring views - but I am not sure I can see any ocean.
Perhaps from Loyetea looking West?

Yes, quite correct Eggs, you get quite a good view from up here of the surrounds for not much hard work.

Oh and what people thought was sand was morning frost on farmland.

Amazing - that was search by Google Maps. It is likely that St Valentines Peak lurks behind that curtain of rain.

A bit like working out where this one is..

I was surprised it took so long to guess.

Its looks like Schnells Ridge coming up the ridgeline from the track. Lake Judd has given it away I think?

Back to you Bap - I thought it would not be that hard. Lake Judd is a real gem.
