Trip notes

From the club member's GPS log of the trip (24 December 2009), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.

Beansburn - Rockburn trip, solo. The Beansburn track has been completely remarked and recut, with a new bridge. The Rockburn is also remarked and cut, though with a few windfalls. The bottom of the track to Park Pass is difficult to find, despite my marking it 15 years ago: I could only find two of my markers, including the "Last marker" one, and no sign of orange ties reported by another party or of the markers I placed near the river. Once on the track, though, it was well worn and easy to follow.
