The schedule:
Monday: Bus (TassieLink) from Launceston (8.15 am) to Cradle Mountain (11.20 am) and start to Waterfall Valley 10.7 km
Sunday: Fly to Launceston and take commercial transport to Cradle Mountain (looking at Outdoor Tasmania)
Monday: Early start to have time for Cradle Mountain and to Waterfall Valley
Tuesday: Waterfall Valley to Lake Windermere 7.8 km
Wednesday: Lake Windermere to Pelion 16.8 km
Thursday: Pelion to Kia Ora 8.6 km
Friday: Kia Ora to Windy Ridge (Bert Nichols Hut) 9.6 km
Saturday: Windy Ridge to Echo Point (don't know how many km)
Sunday:
Monday return to Hobart or Launceston to fly out
My questions (for now):
- I expect I'll be on the trail Monday morning early
- Any recommended side trips? Don't want to do them all, but is there a "must do" that doesn't require an extra day?
- How far is it from Windy Ridge to Echo Point?
- There's no Tassie-Link back on Monday, any recommendations for transport back to an airport?
I appreciate all help, tips and advise.
[edit] Changed schedule based on advise.
