Great compass work - Spring Creek Fire - 15 December

I know I already complimented James W on his 15km compass bearing on the Spring Creek fire a week ago, but I just downloaded some photos from my camera - I'd forgotten that I took some shots of the fire from the Gatton-Esk Road when I was trying to locate it.

This is what the fire looked like from 3km away (using some zoom), seeing it against the darker hills behind.  James was taking his bearing from the top of the range further to the right of this photo and five times as far away.

Taking a bearing on it from 15+ km away without that dark background and getting it spot on is a great bit of compass work.
