Ah, your picture explains all Deirdre...
"Hello, can you tell me where Deirdre is?"
"She's up there"
[Goes up there]
"Hi, Paul and Aubrey et al, can you tell me where Deirdre is?"
"She's down there"
??????
You were neither here nor there!! Turns out you were in No Mans land in between

Keith you were there 
after all
I was hoping to drive up to the main barrier which woould have left me 50 feet or so from the first picnic bench.
However I did not realise that the folks in those houses put bars in the road lower down. So on my struggle up the hill with my gear , I was thinking ~where on Earth is Keith ? not like him to say he would be on the hill and then not turn up'
Got too busy with my group to go 'up there' so there ye have it. Lots of observers on the Head but no one met each other :laugh: By the time I got my gear down and rang Aubrey he was already on the way home.
John great shot with a phone camera , wish I had such a gem.
