Wrestling with the idea of heading off for a weekend adventure. Staring at the map but can't think of where to go.

I feel like something in the mountains would be nice but only if I can find a good book to start on because I'm currently between books. I'm not sure if I loved the first Discworld book I read.

Have you been to Howqua Hills? You could stay in Mansfield or Jamieson and head in from there. Absolutely stunning.

If it wasn't likely to be so wet, I'd recommend Lake Tarli Kaarng. Have to hike in and out though. Better keep that one in mind for summer methinks.

assume you've read the expanse? I LOVED those books. the martian is also a great (if obvious) suggestion.
