Thark Ridge, Mt Wellington

Meet at the large Big Bend carpark at 10.30am, which is 470m uphill from the Big Bend Firetrail start on the Pinnacle Road. It will be cold but hopefully not raining. Bring gear for a day walk on a rough track with some muddy sections and some scrub.
Please let Christine Corbett know if you are planning on coming.

About a year ago some of us attempted a medium-length loop walk through the alpine vegetation of Thark Ridge behind Mt Wellington, but there was so much botanical distraction that in half a day we only got about 1.5 km out and back again. Keith Corbett would like to have another go, and may or may not get any further. Botanical interest guaranteed. Could be up to 7km, around 300 m of height gain, some rough track.
