Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (6 November 2018), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
Club trip, party of 5.
Fairly scrubby lower down, and the last gully is a bit tricky. Maybe consider going up Manson Creek and looking for a bush route up the spur from about the 800 m mark.
