Billop Bluff

I had never heard of Billip Bluff until I read it on the club programme. That's one of the things I love about being in a club - it introduces us to new peaks. I assumed it would be a bit like nearby Dry's Bluff - along, then up a bit, maybe a bit of real climbing, and then vast views out over the plains below to the north and east. Fine. One point. Put our names on the list.

Only in the bus did I start to hear horror reports of thick bush and nasty scree - one club member apparently said he'd prefer to be at work, and he hates his job. Oh oh. My mental image switched to a long unpleasant day fighting thick, prickly scrub, then dancing interminably on scree as the summit ran away from us in the distance. I feared we would not even get to summit at all. Oh well, here we were.

Thanks so much for pointing that out Paul. I don't like errors like that. Funnily (ironically?) you, too, made a typo, as Billop only has one 'p'. Thanks to your pointing out my error, I've now changed the spelling in the title. Ta

Paul is right, not me, and he has the last laugh :-)
I got my spelling off the Peak Baggers' Guide, but have now checked other sources, and the name does, indeed, have 2 x p, but now I can't work out how to edit my own post to change the spelling. :-(
