Hey Heather,
Pigeon House is a good walk, but The Castle is even more impressive in its
views and variety of terrain, even though it's much more difficult - 14Km and 7-8 hours, and you still need a rope just before the top. It's considered by those who rate these things as one of the top ten day walks in the world.
Also, I'm not sure why James
Cook named it Pigeon House - everyone who's seen it knows what it really resembles !
Thanks for all your great stories, keep 'em coming !
Cheers,
Nic
