Three final checks
Check conditions that could disrupt plans before assessing recommendation strength.
- 01
The giant park hourglass is not a drama prop; distinguish the memorial installed in 1999 after broadcast.
- 02
Sunrise can be obscured; strong wind, high waves and snow affect the coast. Check weather and access that day.
- 03
Station facilities, schedules, coastal access and monuments have changed since 1995; use current information.
