Part 4 - Route Planning
1. Correct - Well done, sneaky question that one

3. Correct
4. You already have identified this error before posting so good stuff. As you suspected the line indicates a parish boundary not a pipeline. Its unlikely this would be marked and also creeks and rivers can, depending on the country be hard to travel if they are up or moving, with steep banks in some locations and possible dense vegitation. Unless you can float it, which is an option. The most likely practical route considering time, distance and ease of travel is to head out to the peak of Mount Clearview which is an easy climb then turn NNW descending down the spur to the hut. This is only my thoughts so its good to have a discussion on this if you disagree.
