Noticed this story on the Advocate Web Site.
The slopes high up on Cradle Mountain could have been mistaken for Antarctica, but that didn't stop seven members of the State Emergency Service completing their winter skills training over the weekend.
(Story also has 11 photos to look at)
Regards Overlandman

Yeah, silly buggers aren't we!! I wonder if some of the other SAR team are forum members as well. . .I've never asked - bit slack huh
Anyway, in case anyone's interested here's a few pics from the weekend.

Jam-packed with gear our packs weren't that comfortable

Tents bolted down

The snow cave near completion

The view from my door at 6.30am - Not that keen to get out of bed yet!!

Someone had left Kitchen Hut door open

Time to sort breakfast and thaw out a bit before pushing on

Good weekend in all.

Nice pics. A great weekend.

I need to make more of an effort to take some photos.

Only mad dogs and Tasmanian SAR volunteers go out in the noonday blizzard.
