Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (25 January 2010), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
Party of 2. Picked a fine spell for this trip, and the going was faster than expected. A thunderstorm in the area on the second night missed us. The Mangerton tops are well worth visiting.
Judges Creek runs underground in its middle section.
