Excursion: Scoparia at Mt Field East

We don’t normally have activities in summer but in a good season the Scoparia around Mt Field can be truly spectacular at this time of year. To take advanatage of that we’ll walk from Lake Dobston across Windy Moor to Mt Field East. If we return the same way the round trip is about 7km and involves about 350 m of climbing. Depending on the group, there is an alternative route via Lake Nicholls which descends through different vegetation communities (forest rather than alpine moorland). That is a bit longer, a total of 9 km with a little more climbing although we could minimise that by doing a car swap. Contact Peter Tuft for details.
