We intend to be moving at an overall average speed of about 5kph taking into account the steep ascents over Mounts Vincent and Cuthbert in both directions.
This track is characterised by very long, steep, slippery, rocky ascents and descents which can be very muddy and slippery in the wet months.
Apart from brief stops along the track to catch our breath, have a drink of water, etc, there will be no regrouping.
If you are not fit, healthy and experienced hiking over rough, rocky terrain, please consider one of the many other hikes offered by Walking Mates Australia.
If, on the other hand, you are a fit, experienced hiker looking for a hike that will challenge you, we look forward to meeting you.
