There are bigger and better fish to fry nearby

Parked at W142 717 starA and plodded through the boggy terrain. A short but uncomfortable trudge up and down: reeds, tall grass, rocks, dodgy footing, midges, fences, etc, etc. Up top the views are good north, west and east but it's not really worth the effort given that Mweelin is so close by.
