Who’d want to buy it? All you get a piece of rock, lots of ramblers walking all over your land and worse still, loonies operating radios at the top of the hill!

Build a car park and tearoom at the base. £5/car at least. £2.25 for a latte. You’d soon get your money back.

The story about a british aristocrat selling a mountain to cover his tax debt made it into the Austrian news (Don`t ask me why).
It does not mention that it is a SOTA summit.
