SUMMARY:The Arthurs - Hiking in Tasmania
DESCRIPTION:Get keen\, this is going to be an incredible trip. The Southwes
 t corner of Tassie has some of the most dramatic alpine landscapes in Aust
 ralia with sheer slopes\, alpine lakes and some pants-wetting exposure. If
  you’re keen on hiking and love mountains\, this is the trip for you.\n\
 nWe intend to do the full traverse of Western and Eastern Arthurs. In orde
 r to take more people\, the plan is to split into 2 groups of 5 and hike f
 rom opposite ends of the ranges. This will take 10 days of walking\, and w
 e will need to bring extra food for bad weather and rest days. There is no
  opportunity for a food drop\, so we will be carrying very heavy packs. In
  addition to this\, the track is rugged and very exposed in parts. There w
 ill be knee deep mud\, pack hauling\, waiting out bad weather and all the 
 best bits of Tassie hiking.\n\nThis trip will take a high level of fitness
 \, a head for heights and enthusiasm for a challenge. We are looking to ta
 ke people with experience on overnight hikes\, but who haven’t necessari
 ly attempted something of this size before.\n\nThe cost to people coming o
 n this trip will be approximately $500 (to cover transport\, food\, parks 
 passes and the like). For people who don’t own all of the necessary gear
 \, some of it can be borrowed from the club. However\, personal sleeping b
 ags and mats will be required as the club ones are too bulky\, and not sui
 ted to a trip of this length.\n\nWe will be running some shorter training 
 hikes in the lead up to this trip to make sure that everyone is prepared a
 nd that we are comfortable with everyone’s ability and fitness.\n\nIf yo
 u want to come\, message myself (Ash Brennan)\, Ben Wilkinson or Ping Li w
 ith experience level\, how excited you are and favourite mountain snack. S
 paces on this trip are quite limited\, so message us sooner rather than la
 ter. This will also give us an idea of interest.\n\nWe are also considerin
 g the option of driving down there (depending on the amount of interest we
  get and the availability of a car)\, so let us know if you have access to
  a car that you are able to drive down to Tassie.\n\nThis is a big underta
 king\, and we’ll consider carefully the group we take. We will be taking
  people based on experience\, keenness and involvement in the club. We won
 ’t be taking people we haven’t met\, so if you want to come make sure 
 you let one of us know at the weekly Ledge night\, or one of the upcoming 
 events (Manky Cam and Climbing Anchors movie night).\n\nWe will be running
  this trip between January 22 and February 10. Get keen.
