Has anyone done the walk recently ?
I'm aiming to give it a go January/2019.

I've changed my date to doing it Mid November/2018 (too long to wait for January/2019).
Just read your posting...so took you 6.5 hours up and then 3 hours down.... (great effort).
I'll be carrying a GPS,Topo map and compass as part of my standard equipment.
Looks like a nice track to take on.....how thick was the scrub when you ventured out ?
regards
A smart phone costs about the same as a GPS. The learning curve is about the same. Plus you get a Camera and a phone. They really offer so much more than a GPS but they do burn battery if you want to track your progress. A smart phone is everything to me these days. So much so I don't bother with Topo maps for navigation anymore. The phone, a compass and my memory.paidal_chalne_vala wrote:I don't have a smart phone. I have two tin cans and a piece of string.

It sticks in my mind that there USED to be an NPWS sign (two uprights and a cross-bar) at Byatts Camp at the top of the Hannels Spur track, saying 'Hannels Spur'. Does anyone know whether this survived the fires of 2003?

Thanks. That has seen a few winters, hasn't it?
Delightful understatement: 'Geehi Flat 6.5 km'.
