What do you wear to Seven Magic Mountains?

Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation located in the Nevada desert, and the weather can be quite hot and dry. Therefore, it is recommended to wear comfortable and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals or sneakers. You may also want to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated. While there is no strict dress code, it's important to dress appropriately for the weather and…

When we did that in the late 90s, it was a gullet. They are a great way to get around the coastline. Some gullets are larger and some are smaller, but the one we were on and the others we saw were from the size Ed described to twice that size. But the very few any larger.

Thanks!

Simon & Baker, it's an extremely broad-beamed traditional Turkish sailboat, generally about 45-50 feet in length (hey folks, correct me if that figure is wrong). Nowadays they're redesigned belowdecks with three or four passenger cabins, and people charter them to sail the Turkish coast.

I'm flying out of Sydney next Monday to the UK with Emirates - to Newcastle. There and around the North East part of England (Durham, Teesdale, Hartelpool etc) for Tall Ships race event and then a stopover two nights and one day in Dubai - someone's gotta do it.

Oh don't mind me, I'm at that grumpy stage of writing, whacking all the details into a massive, massive it-could-be-a-book file and then have to get the chisels out to start hacking.

I really don't get how and why people get their noses out of joint over this posting. Cripes, how often do you send a query to a magazine and never hear anything. This man is launching a new title. I've done that and know how difficult and time-consuming it is.

I'm frankly surprised he only got 50 responses, but 50 is still a lot of wade through. And those 50 are only for one position. I should expect he has others to fill, so probably has several hundred to wade through. I've been in that position and after a while all the resumes and pitches start to look the same. I'm glad I'm not on the receiving end. It's mind-numbing work.

Hi Allan - sorry, didn't realise the discussion pages were closed. Have put up a redacted version of the text in the discussion forum on here, headed 'Conversations over luxury travel magazine work offer...'
Allan Lynch July 26, 2010 at 7:40pm

Sarah - I couldn't open the link. I'm not a member of that group and I can't see which group it is to join. (I'm on deadline and don't have a lot of time or patience right now - the piece I'm working on is laying there like a lump of shit right now. Madness trying to get 18 communities into 4000 words!)
