Thanks RP, the geyser not sure as the last two groups before us had the same problem. no 2 and 5 geysers where OOO. Was not too bad seen worse at Nossob where a couple in a hiking tent nearly flouted away, sleeping bags and clothes all wet :yes: :yes: . Just glad it was not that cold as it can get in winter there.
