Thanks again Andrew for another hilarious report. I have to ask though, where did you source the fresh mushrooms that you fried up? The New Pelion Hut unicorns are a real problem..... :lol:

Good read.
I walked past Ossa several times before I climbed her, due to wind, snow, rain & cloud.
Good to see that you turned around when it got difficult.
It is a fantastic sight at the 3 waterfalls, I find it hard when people walk past the junction without heading in for a look.

Hey Dan, thankyou for your kind comments. By fresh I simply mean that the mushrooms weren't freeze-dried or the like. We carried them in.

Adored the witty report, and the photos had my wanting to pack my bag and get out there ASAP. Thanks for a fun contribution.
