Weekend trail running at Buller with steep ridgelines and alpine views!

I want to run this 14.5 km loop track with 570m altitude gain and loss - see more at http://www.7peaksrun.com.au/mt-buller/

Awesome, technical, super fun singletrack berms, dips, switchbacks and lots of features associated with MTB tracks. Great scenery and alpine flora to experience up close. Loop track with a huge amount of versatility to extend your trip.

The plan is drive up Friday night and camp somewhere near the start of the trail, get up early and run before it gets too hot.

We'd finish around lunchtime and then spend the afternoon stretching and hanging out, possibly check out some of the beer tasting in the area :)

You need to be a confident bushwalker with basic navigation skills and comfortable on an alpine single track with simple navigation by yourself as we'll be running independently with checkpoints at the end and finish and cellphone communication. Running fitness needed although it's ok to stop and walk if you need! You need to be able to run with a backpack/vest to carry your own water and gear.

Drive back Sat night/Sunday morning depending on how the team feels.
