Archived trip from old website run by Thomas Veit

Greetings hikers!

Let's go for a wander in the Budawangs. The approaches are as soggy as a sao stuck to a swaggering sea cucumber so we're going to need to get creative. 

The Plan: 

Saturday 28th:

• Early start from ANU (~5:30am departure)


• Drive around to the eastern approaches (-35.261944, 150.372976). There's a 4WD track up the escarpment from here but it'll most likely be too rough for us to drive up so expect to walk from there. 


• Hike to the Mt. Bushwalker lookout (-35.239378, 150.293597) - approx. 10km.


• Hike towards Talatarang Mountain as we look for a suitably epic campsite. Additional 5-10km

Sunday 30th:

• Do Saturday in reverse.

We're going to be moving quickly and there could be a good deal of rough off-track/vertical rock scrambling. Hikers need to have a high level of cardio fitness. There will be no pre-trip as participation is limited to experienced overnight hikers.
