Mt Tumbledown; Poems, 12pm 3rd Jan

At school we had to run up Mt Tumbledown annually as part of the House Cup sporting activites, but I never really bothered to take the time to go there and explore the nooks and crannies of the sheer rocky hill tops leading to the summit.

From the top you can see Stanley in its enitrety, and on a sunny day the views are spectacular. The walk there and the fun (and discoveries) of climbing amongst the rocks made the completion of the self- set 'task' even more rewarding.

Tumbledown was also the site of an epic battle between the British and Argentines during the 1982 conflict, and even now traces of it still echo across the hillside.
