Quickly deciding it was too much effort to get to too little snow today we opted to stretch our legs with a walk from Guthega Power Station. As Beth and Pablo had not been to Disappointment Spur Hut before we rock-hopped across Munyang River just behind the power station before the gradual ascent up Disappointment Spur Trail to start the walk. We had great walking weather today with cool and calm conditions.

Participant: Stephen Davies (Report)

This trip was one had I wanted to do for a while and after deciding to run a marathon early next year and try to do it in under three hours this trip was doubling as a training exercise. I wanted to make it difficult so carried a lot of gear, my pack weighing 66 pound (30kg) as I left.
