This weekend I decided to hike to the Pinchgut Hut via a clockwise track, I started yesterday morning at the Wooded Fully Campsite (the ‘YOU ARE HERE’ sign)
A stream to cross and also nice place to have a picnic had the sun been shining
Lots of dangers on the track for tall people
Like this one
The clouds make for an interesting and sometimes almost spooky landscape
The orange marker (pole in the middle of the photo) marks the track
In other places it’s a triangle on a tree, pointing in the direction to go
Lots of this stuff on the tree branches again
Nice landscape
Bob’s Camp Bivouac, I am not staying here, just having a look what it’s about
I continue towards Pinchgut Hut via the Cattle Peak Route
Getting close to the hut
A little video of yesterday
And there it is! In time before sunset, after a well-deserved meal I went to bed early
This morning, some photos of the hut
My awesome sleeping bag kept be warm
Lots of space in the hut
Too bad I am terrible at getting those log burners to work, would have been nice last night to have it going
Today is quite different from yesterday, no more clouds but a clear blue sky
Before long the sun will heat up the hut
I’m on my way again via the Whare Route
A drone shot, where’s Waldo Edwin?
The track ahead
I am quite high now, with good views of the surrounding mountain rangers
On my way to Mt Thomas
At Mt Thomas
Drone shot of the track I just walked
Looking towards Ashley Forest
Looking south
The track down back to the car park, it’s very steep!
And another little video of today
