Left Barrack Point 7:07am arrived Guthega about 2:00pm. Was overcast with occasional showers.

Bruce Easton at Wilderness Sports recommended Guthega, so I bought a map and was off. Changed and packed at Island Bend campsite. Dropped off my pack at Guthega before driving 1km back to the overnight carpark and walked back. Looking forward to my first trip on with new skis, boots and skins. Continue reading →

We commenced this fantastic day trip on a cool crisp morning. Due to the consistent rain in the previous week the drive through several locked gates was challenging as some of the puddles of water were up to the car number plates and there were sections that were very slippery. As Will was the only driver with a two wheel drive, he chose to leave his car and bike the last kilometre to the car park where the rest of us commenced the ride. At this stage, after riding through the mud and pooled rainwater he was regretting his decision to wear a white T shirt that day.

We met at Steve’s at 1700 on Friday and began the long drive down. It seemed things were against our skiing this weekend. Some people had had to pull out of the trip due to injury and other commitments, and then things continued as the weekend progressed. Just before Canberra Steve pulled over because something felt funny. Sure enough we had a flat (caused by a nail), though luckily the spare was accessible and we managed a quick change. The rest of the drive to Jindy was uneventful, reaching Nuggets Crossing at 2330, just in time to get our skis, stocks and boots from Wilderness Sports ($60 for 2 days). We continued on the last leg of the drive out to Thredbo Diggings (Bullocks Flat) where we set up the tent and were asleep by 2330.

This was our delayed annual week ski trip. I had wanted to travel reasonably lightly as between building my new darkroom and being down with a bad back recurrence I had only managed 15 minutes of exercise (on the nordic-track) in the two weeks preceding the trip (so I felt a little unprepared). My new tent missed out on a being christened again! This time because we needed a three man tent.
