Looking for advice/suggestions for Blue Mountains Walk
Posted: Wed 30 Jun, 2010 9:04 am
Hi everyone,
My brother and I are planning to spend 3 days bushwalking and camping in the Blue Mountain region from July 21-23rd and I was just wondering how feasible it is to camp during the seemingly coldest month of the winter. We are both in our mid-twenties and have some (but not a lot) of walking and camping experience.
Also, I was wondering if someone could perhaps recommend a particular multiday walk. I've looked at the "Wild Walks" list (http://www.wildwalks.com/bushwalking/ge ... groupid=26) and so far the following overnight walks look pretty fantastic:
The Six Foot Track
Victoria Falls to Blackheath Station
Blackhealth to Blue Gum Loop
Scenic Railway - Ruined Castle - Mt Solitary - Kedumba River - Wentworth Falls
Neither of us have much experience navigating, so I was hoping to get an idea about whether or not these would be do-able for relative beginners.
Aslo, if anyone can recommend one of these (or for that matter, any other trek) that would be great. I'm not from the area and don't quite know which are the really "must do" walks.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Asher
