<span class="link_user">@JaramnieJazz</span>, Thanks, you too! It’s just one of several spots. This one is about a 1 km walk each way, followed by a lovely obstacle course of blackberry thorns, burning nettles, and swarms of biting insects. I picked the spot very strategically: because absolutely nobody in their right mind would want to go in there. So maybe it’s not exactly hard work… but it is definitely painful work.
