Bushwalk Australia

I'm doing the OT next week 16/8/13 to the 24/8/13. Should i take snow shoes or not. what are your thoughts. The weather report looking good for lots snow.

I'd be thinking you'd be crazy not to. I was very glad of mine for just a quick trip to Cradle last week, after thinking 'not so much snow...' But the next morning I was seriously glad to have them.

Elray,

Please let us know how you go and also report on the conditions.

I a, part of a group of four that will be down there looking to start the walk first week of September and concerns about snow shoes myself.

Cheers,
Paul

All packed and the snow shoes are in. I believe if one person in the group has snow shoes it will help the rest of the group. I will be able to start packing down the snow and the group shouldn't post hole as bad.

Good luck mate. Let us know how you go.

Cheers,
EB

back safe from O.T. 1.5m snow on pillion gap. I loved my snow shoes. The rest of the group didn't have any and had a long day pushing though the snow.

Coming down in a few days to see Paul Kelly in Hobart, first time ever to Tas!

Plan on doing the OLT early next week, hopefully starting Monday. Will definitely hire out a pair of snow shoes based on recent reports.

Hopefully see you out on the track!

P.S Frenchman's Cap would also be awesome to get up , if conditions are favourable but have Freycinet as a plan B.

Thanks for the info. Looks like snoeshoes are a must. Hoping for a fair melt before next week but I dont think I will be that lucky.

Billy, we hoping to start Wed week.

Cheers
EB
