From Ironman's pic below though this doesn't seem to be the case, the horizon seems to dip into a valley directly behind the recumbent in the pic below:

I've looked through my pics and I dont have a good view through the axis to the horizon so I'm looking for some pics of same.

Any info much appreciated.
I think that Burl's "high hills " are not the distant hills but the foreground hill above the gorse , that is quite a high horizon behing the recumbent .
