Yep,

The original plan was to build Zoom or Bust all the way from the forest road near the start of Soor Plooms but we ran out of time and had to divert it from walking path at the closest point. I'd like to see this bit completed (as would my boss!) so it doesn't come off the walking path.

Would the 'fairies be up for this?? We could start on this striaight away. Totally understand though if your all sick of Zoom or Bust for the moment!

Andy Weir made a good suggestion on Saturday, that the top of Zoom or Bust could be extended so that it doesn't start off a walkers' path.

I like the sound of this too!
