Trip notes

From the club member's GPS log of the trip (8–9 January 2019), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.

Solo trip in great blue-sky weather. This is the downhill route only, as it follows the track more accurately. About 3 hours from camp to Mt Sutton with a daypack.
