Beside Old Hobartians Track |
I set off up the Lenah Valley Track and then on to the Old Hobartians Track. As I gained altitude the snow became thicker but it was easy walking on the track.

Oh I'm so jealous! I've been looking at the mountain wishing I could walk up in the snow. It looks like it was a pretty awesome walk!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a good walk, Fiona, and the snow is always so pretty. Why not just go for a walk in the snow while it is there. More coming on Thursday, I think. 😄 Denis
DeleteHey Denis,
ReplyDeleteOne of the mountain hut 'gentlemen's agreements' is that their locations aren't published online. Ranger Ben Masterman has posted notices in the huts asking this. Secrecy is all that protects these huts from anti social use. Tas Maps printed the location of Scout Hut a few years back and now look at the condition of that hut, it isn't good. Lots of graffiti and rubbish. Could you please remove the GPX file for this route? Happy to discuss further.

Hi Ben,
DeleteYou will notice that I have included no location information on Kara Hut in this post, nor have I included the access track either in the two maps or in the GPX file as stated.
