Two hikes for the price of one! DESCRIPTION:Sign up for a truly epic overnight trip to the Mugii Murum-Ban State Conservation Area!\n\nAfter exploring this area myself a few years b ack\, I'm keen to take a few people back to show it off - it's a special p lace out past the main part of Gardens of Stone\, full of stunning dry can yons\, amazing plants\, stunning views and old mine relics. I feel like th is is set to take off as the next big hiking-influencer hotspot so see it before it gets trashed!!\n\nThis will be a beginner-intermediate hike over night* hike with a maximum group of 8.\n\n*We will be car camping\, and do ing 2 day walks from the carpark. No need to carry your camping gear.\n\n Where/When:\n\nThe general plan is to drive to a dirt carpark just off Gl en Davis Rd near the town of Capertee\, about a 3 hr drive\, early Saturda y morning (18 July)\, hike up a fairly steep firetrail for about 2km\, and explore the area. This day will be about 10km however includes some lovel y stinging nettle and sections of bush some people may consider bush bashi ng. If we're feeling like it\, we can realistically walk for as long as th e sun lets us\, and really explore the area. Choose your own adventure!\n\ nThat evening\, we will return to cars and then drive to a nearby campsite in the Valley.\n\nGreat reading of Day 1 here: https://hikingtheworld.blo g/2023/10/25/valley-of-the-dinosaurs-mmb/\n\nDay 2 is to be confirmed! May be explore Mt Airly? The Pipeline track? Glen Davis ruins? Give me suggest ions!\n\nWe're waiting to get our hands on this book shortly and pick some thing exciting either in the same park\, or a bit further along at Glen Da vis :)\n\nIt'll be amazing\, regardless!\n\n \;\n\n What to Bring (Re ad Carefully - Note some of this can be borrowed from the Club):\n\nAnd to prove you're paying attention\, tell me in the comment box what is your f avourite type of Dinosaur.\n\n- Camping gear: Everything included in the B oree Log packing list here - Boree Log Packing List. We will be camping ov ernight. However\, you can leave your camping gear in the car. Bring adeq uate extra warmth.\n\n- Clothes: Long hiking pants\, hiking shirt (prefera bly with long sleeves/collar)\, solid hiking boots or trailrunners\, well cushioned hiking socks (and thin liner socks if you like)\, wide brimmed h at\, sunglasses. Raincoat. And a spare set of clothes\, including socks\, to change into.\n\n- WARM clothes: Warm jacket (heavy fleece or down jacke t)\, beanie\, thermals. The temperature regularly gets below zero overnigh t and won't crack 15 degrees in the day.\n\n- Water: At least 2L of water carrying in your bag\, and lots more in the car. There is no refill point in the area. Bring your own water for dinner and cooking\n\n- Food: Enough food for 1 breakfast\, 2 lunches\, 1 dinner and heaps of snacks! High ene rgy\, light weight\, easy to cook. All the usual suspects like a simple pa sta for dinner\, oats for breakfast\, wraps for lunch\, and lots of choc a nd dried fruit as snacks. I can go over all this in more depth with partic ipants.\n\n- Medical stuff: Any personal medications\, with any attached a ction plans\, an emergency blanket\, roller bandage\, whistle\, then any f irst aid things you have while not going overboard on weight (leaders will have first aid kits too).\n\n- Miscellaneous: A head torch with charged a nd spare batteries\, bag for really wet clothes and rubbish from cooking\, sunscreen?\, your phone with spare power pack\, some toilet paper\, and a lot of optional things like water purification tablets if you have them\, hiking poles\, camera\, compass\, insect repellant...\n\n\n\nYou don't ne ed to have necessarily done an overnight hike before for this but some hik ing experience is required. So make sure you've read everything then let m e know in the comments what your hiking experience is\, if you have a car/ how many spots\, and the secret question :)\n\nMessage us with any questio ns about gear or anything else\, Facebook links below!\n\nThanks\, Sudarsh an and Amelia🌳\nAnd a Hughge thanks to Hugh for the writeup I've based off.
