Re: This one's all about Chris.

There's some graft in this one for a winter wander TM but well worth the effort. Those beautiful clear air 'see for miles' days are one of the best things about winter hikes :clap:

Great stuff Lafrances, me and MrsW are hoping to get a trip to Newfoundland this year so this was really interesting for me.
