Hi fellow walkers
During our recent Overland walk when we reached the Mt Ossa turnoff I decided to go up East Pelion by myself. Although not a difficult climb I did struggle a little with the route. It was well marked at the start of the trail but became increasingly more difficult to find the trail as I ascended. I did find the cairns people had built, but then stuggled as I reached the the base without knowing where to begin scrambling. I re-checked the map to be sure and it seems straight up was the way. I did a little scramnbling and got about half way up the final part but it seemed more difficult than I had imagined. (we did ascend Cradle Mt on the way and I did not find that hard going).
Can anyone give me some idea as to how to get up to the top? Perhaps being by myself may have been a factor. (chicken)
Also I came across lots of little green lizards about 3 - 4 " long . Does anybody know the name of these little beasties???
Finally on decent I stepped over a green snake about foot long. It was dark green in colour. So I would be keen to know what type of snake this was.
