Trip notes

From the club member's GPS log of the trip (1 March 2014), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.

Party of 2. A perfect day after a fresh dusting of snow the day before. We went up to the bridge too soon: there is a rough track up to the bridge, starting quite close to under the bridge. Great campsites in the basins.
