Trip leader: Jan H.

**Trip Overview**
This trip covers the Gar and Werdug 3-day hike. From Parks Vic website:
You’ll witness seasonal waterfalls, mountain summits and clifftop camping. The track is an overall Grade 4 walk with steep terrain, suitable for fit and experienced hikers.
This section of the trail is particularly spectacular in winter, spring and after rain, when clifftop rockpools and seasonal waterfalls are at their best. Gar (meaning “big mountain”) is the highest on the western side of the range, rewarding walkers with spectacular 360-degree views. Lake Wartook Lookout, at 829m, is one of the highest points on the eastern side of the Mount Difficult Range with sweeping 360-degree views of Gariwerd.
This trip is for people with pack carry experience.
**Camping**
Once you have been approved by the leader, you will need to book your own campsites for the 2 nights. They are $50.40 per night per site, so it’s $100.80.
You can cut down the cost by sharing a tent with someone. And there is a possibility of fitting 2 tiny tents (3.5×1.25m) in one platform. If you’d like to share a campsite, please find your camping buddy before submitting the request.
**Step 1:** Submit your booking request via our website, below.

* If you are sharing the campsite with someone, please make sure the other person is sending the request at the same time.
* The hike requires a car shuffle, so you must tell me clearly if you can take a car on this trip and how many passengers you can take. We need enough cars for this trip.
* Please list your most recent pack carries with details, especially those done with the Club.

**Step 2:** Once the leader approves your request, please book your campsite via the Parks Vic website ASAP.
**Step 3:** Once you book the campsite, send the confirmation to the leader who will confirm your spot on this trip.
The Grampians Peaks Trail is very popular, so booking opens well in advance.
