Thanks Gryphon,
It must have been someone else that I saw then.

My trip was mainly to look for a house to use in retirement and as a base for hunting expeditions. Unfortunately the dollar decided to go on holidays at the same time so that any place I bought would have cost an extra $20,000. This seems to be the story of my life but maybe I'll have another crack at it if things improve. I'd still like to go tahr/chamois hunting next year, whatever happens, hence my questions about gear, access etc.

Cheers
