 It was quite an adventure just to get to the start of this walk and what enormous anticipation there was in it’s planning. Our daughter, Beth, was only home from almost three years overseas for two weeks after her mandatory fourteen-day Covid-19 hotel quarantine with her partner Pablo. They had been planning for six months how they might make their journey to Australia happen.

Originally I had planned to arrive at the Pounds Creek campsite Damien had organised before anyone else, as I was going to connect my Charlotte Pass trip with his and avoid a trip home. I had 11 days of food and the rest of my gear packed and ready to go. However, my Mount Townsend day had consequences in the form of blisters on both heals from being clueless on how to adjust my new boots, I also ended up with a throat infection and lower back problem from consecutive long days. My better half also had suffered a bad cold for the last two weeks and had broken her fifth metacarpal (hand) so it was certainly best I drove home. Once everything settled enough I was heading back much later than first planned to connect with Damien’s now also finished trip. As it turned out I was still somewhat before par and had a low activity trip.

Despite a forecast for wind and clouds on Saturday early next week looks calm. My objective for this trip was to wait for the calm weather then move camp to the top of a high point with great views that would work well for star trails and time lapses. Several similar trips over the last few years have yielded some good results. Continue reading
