The first thing you see on the way in is the hill: a long ridge with a flat top, above dry grassland.
The road in was dirt, with a strip of fresh gravel along one side.
From the spot we picked for a first building, the hill shows through the trees.
In the mornings we looked southwest across the valley: open fields, a few huts, and mountains in the haze.
The stream and the valley floor are far below.
It was the dry season. Most of the grass was brown, and some patches had been burned. The Rewilding page has a photo of the land in 2020 and again in 2024.
