If they'd been E or W so we could reach up/down we might have been tempted to go for it.<br /><br />One of key constraints was time as both Tristan and I are very busy and the baseline plan was one we felt we'd be able to do in 2 - 3 weeks.<br /><br />I was looking at the Sumara of Weymouth blog and they went up there last year but had more time than we did.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475536270807856327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-26543327035127574642012-07-14T02:26:18.919+00:002012-07-14T02:26:18.919+00:00Try Jan Mayen Island - 70°59′N 8°32′W.
