Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (12 November 2005), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
11 to 13 November 2005, party of 6, on the Show Day long weekend. A fairly straightforward tramp in excellent weather, but fairly challenging coming down Raven Spur because of dense vegetation and trouble identifying exactly the right spur to descend. After much effort we reached the end of the spur but found the descent difficult to the north or west. We eventually came down a steep descent to the east to join the sidle track.
