Winter Midweek Beeripmo Walk

Days: 2    Nights: 1     Length: 21km     Elev. gain: 915m       Grade: 3     Wed-Thurs

Come along for a beginner friendly overnight hike through Mount Cole State Forest and Mt Buangor State Park on the Beeripmo walk before semester goes back. This 21km walk covers some beautiful Victorian scenery, and we'll enjoy some frosty winter camping at Beeripmo Campground. 

On the Tuesday trip meeting we can do gear hire, so if you need any gear such as tents, sleeping bags, basic sleeping mats and packs. Please bring a $50 cash deposit for any gear hire. Since it's going to be chilly, warm clothes and a properly rated winter sleeping bag is essential! Edit: extended to 7 participants as we have cars available. Expected fuel costs are roughly $30 per person.
