Starting to work towards ticking off a couple of more adventures. Introducing myself to overnight/all day snow on foot. and starting project of the AAWT as (mostly) long weekenders.
My current window around kids, family and work is early September.
Current plan. It's big days, which I'm comfortable with in spring and autumn. Is it too ambitious for this time of year?
Day1 Early start from Walhalla - camp at mushroom rocks. ~22km and 1200m climbing
Day2 Mushroom rocks to WhitelawHut ~18kmkm and 650m climbing ---- Backout plan if snow/weather is bad is turn back by Mt Erica.
Day 3 WhitelawHut - Stronachs 11km and 161m climbing and 500m descending.
Can anyone confirm the road condition at this time of year? It doesn't appear to be shut on parks website.
Has anyone experience with snow depths at this time of year? And will snow shoes be ok?
I have camped out a 4wd with my hiking kit in snow multiple times and smaller day trips on foot, I'm reasonably confident. Just making sure I haven't missed too much as I'm starting to second guess myself.
Bit of an Edit: I've now got a couple of others coming with me. So have shortened it up considerably.
Walhalla - Osheas
Osheas - Talbot Ruins
Talbot Ruins - Mt St Gwinear.
