MR
1:100K Mersey & Meander, 1:25K Various
New Years Eve camp at the Steppes Homestead/Reserve followed by an off-track amble on the plateau starting from Lake Ada. Route to be decided by the group, but could include an excursion to Walls of Jerusalem or a circuit taking in as many beautiful lakes as possible. Trip pace cruisy. Philosophising, contemplation & photography encouraged. Reasonable fitness, sense of adventure, humour and 4 seasons gear required. Suitable for prospective or new members. Trip philosophy at http://www.ahack.org. Anyone interested could join either NY Eve camp only, or the walk only, or both. We'll leave after work on Wed 31/12 and camp at the Steppes from ~7.00pm onwards. Join us at camp either Wed nite or Thurs 9.00am for the start of the trip. Return to Hobart Sun 4/1 4.00 pm latest.
Trip report:
16 for New Years Eve @ Steppes, 5 for the walk. The forecast of 'snow' put a few off, but as so often the weather was better than expected. Judging by the numbers @ Steppes an annual New Years Eve camp could be worth considering? For the walk we had lovely snow 1st nite (fluffy & dry) which was all gone by midday day 2, much nicer than rain! Many nice pics taken.
