Hi all,
We've got a few people interested in going to Tasmania sometime between late November and January next year. If you're interested, and think you meet the prerequisites, please put your name down and when you could potentially go on a trip in this Google sheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cW6fU4ARuOJBiKur4ftIwFd3K_yrY0gGObKN1tshGTU/edit?usp=sharing (the key is on the second tab). There may be more than one trip going, i.e. one trip to the Arthurs and another to the South Coast Track.
Proposed tracks:
* Western Arthurs
* South Coast Track
Prerequisites:
* High level of fitness - able to hike for a week or more over challenging terrain with a heavy pack
* Advanced bush skills - comfortable navigating an indistinct track, ability to cross hazardous terrain including rivers and rock scrambles, knowledge of wilderness first aid and be able to treat common injuries/ailments, ability to establish camp in harsh conditions etc.
* Be actively involved in the trip planning process
