At our historic, family run and expensive Solvorn hotel, the Walaker, a lovely manager listened to my complaints about our viewless room.

There are blank white lofts with subway-tile bathrooms, modular furniture, wall-mounted TVs, high-speed internet, and wide, viewless windows in every city, whether it's downtown Madrid; Nørrebro, Copenhagen; or Gulou, Beijing.

During this flight, I really wanted to get up stretch, but I mistakenly booked another window seat for this viewless flight, and the people sitting next to me seemed to be in deep slumber.

This Garlon has an unknightly way of killing men by viewless blows from the rear.

Hikers climbing North Kinsman Mountain, when reaching the viewless summit, should be sure to take a short bushwhack east to steep granite ledges falling off to Kinsman Pond and offering views of Cannon Mountain, South Kinsman, Franconia Ridge, and Lonesome Lake.

They played in blue shirts, emblazoned with the Waratah. Players were paid 3 shillings a day in expenses.Zavos p. 90. Moran writes in Viewless Winds that when the touring squad first arrived at Plymouth a pack of journalists were there who were anxious to give the team some distinctive name.

In the financial crises of the 1930s he suffered losses and saw a bleak future ahead. He committed suicide, hanging himself at a hospital in Leichhardt after being mentally ill for some time.Moran, Herbert (1939) Viewless Winds reproduced in The Spirit of Rugbyp184The Referee,Sydney: Bob Craig's Death. 7 March 1935 Bob Craig was privately cremated at Rookwood.

In Viewless Winds however Moran speaks of a skill he possessed that may have impressed the selectors – a strategic understanding he brought to his captaincy (in terms of adapting play tactics for conditions and opposition weaknesses) which he says was not widely deployed by captains of the day.Moran, Herbert (1939) Viewless Winds reproduced in The Spirit of Rugbyp176 On the long voyage Moran introduced the practice of team meetings that were part lecture and part brain-storming with players encouraged to voice their ideas on improving team performance. Moran stood at a blackboard and while his lecturing style was initially derided by the players he managed to instil a sense of cleverness and skill in players, creating thoughts of rugby as similar to a game of chess.Zavos p109 Detail from squad photo, Moran (2nd row, three from right).

He was viewed as a violent player, and this made his unpopular with other players. Former Australian captain Herbert Moran said of him that "... his conception of rugby was one of trained violence".Moran, Paddy; Viewless Winds – the recollections and digressions of an Australian surgeon; P Davies Pub., London (1939) During the Second Boer War, Swannell served in the British Army in South Africa, rising to the rank of lieutenant.

The forested summit is approximately due west of a local high-point on the Appalachian Trail. Mount Fitch does not meet the AMC's prominence criterion of 200 vertical feet of separation from adjacent peaks as outlined in New England's Four-thousand footers list. Currently there is no side-spur trail or signage directing a hiker to the summit of Mt. Fitch from the Appalachian Trail; however, there is a wooden placard at the summit itself (pictured at right). The top is infrequently visited by hikers due to its anonymity, the bushwhack necessary to reach the top and the viewless summit.

The labor struggles of the area also comes to light, as there was a struggle between American Federation of Labor's unions and Congress of Industrial Organizations' unions; union and non-union workers; and local businesses and striking workers. Richard Law purported that his wife's murder could have been carried out by the Aberdeen Business Builders, an anti-union, right-wing group, as a threat to him or for retaliation. In 1949, Murray Morgan wrote the book, The Viewless Winds, a fictitious novel based on the events surrounding the Laura Law murder. In Morgan's book the murder is carried out by a vagrant as a random act of violence.

He volunteered his services in England at the beginning of World War I and was made a Lieutenant in the Royal Army Medical Corps. He was sent to Gallipoli where he contracted amoebic dysentery, was sent to Mesopotamia where he became ill again. He was repatriated to Australia via India.Howell pp36 Moran didn't mince words when he wrote home to Australian newspapers from the WWI front: As an author Paddy Moran published three books: Viewless Winds – the recollections and digressions of an Australian surgeon (London, P Davies 1939); Beyond the hill lies China – scenes from a medical life in Australia (London, P Davies 1945); In my fashion – an autobiography of the last ten years (Sydney, Dymocks 1946).

It begins by winding through the notably scrubbier woods of these slopes before finally settling for a traverse up past some impressive rock outcrops, where it becomes more heavily trodden and easier to follow. Finally, just above , it reaches a short but steep open rock face that requires some scrambling to reward the climber with a view to the north of the Blackhead Range, over Kaaterskill Clove, with Kaaterskill Falls clearly visible below. Beyond it the path becomes even more obvious as the surrounding forest becomes totally boreal, with spruce and fir in every direction. Some gentle ascents alternate with level stretches before a last ascent into the small, viewless summit clearing.

Actual summit, with tower footings The mountain's actual height of land is a small, viewless clearing with the footings of the towers that once stood there. Just to the west, however, is the much wider clearing of Burroughs Ledge with a sweeping view to the east in which Ashokan Reservoir is prominent, the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge can be glimpsed. The neighboring high peaks to the east seem like small hills and the Devil's Path and Blackhead Range in Greene County are visible to the north. In fact, it is possible to see, from various points along the summit ridge, all but one of the other 34 Catskill High Peaks (Thomas Cole may or may not be hidden by Hunter).

Pitchoff Mountain is a mountain opposite Cascade Mountain on NY 73 west of Keene Valley in Essex County, New York, in the US. There are two summits; the higher summit is viewless, but the northern summit, at offers 360 degree views of the nearby Cascade Lakes, the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, and, in clear weather, the Green Mountains of Vermont.Goodwin, Tony, ed., Adirondack Trails, High Peaks Region, Lake George, New York: Adirondack Mountain Club, 2004, p. 91. There is a hiking trail that starts on Route 73 west of the Cascade Lakes, climbs to the blind summit, then traverses the nearly two-mile summit ridge to the northern summit before descending to Route 73 east of the Lakes, east of the starting point.

In 1905 he was selected to play for the Australian national team, even though he had already faced them as an opponent on six occasions. The match was against New Zealand, and was the first overseas tour the Australians had undertaken; Australia lost 14–3. Wallaby captain Herbert Moran didn't mince words when speaking of Swannell in Viewless Winds saying "Swannell was, for a number of years, a bad influence in Sydney football...his conception of rugby was one of trained violence" With his playing career behind him, Swannell continued his involvement with the sport by coaching at youth and school level, namely at St Joseph's College where he coached the team to a number of championships. He was an advocate for team training and in particular for forwards to rehearse scrummaging and break-down techniques.
