*** waiting to see what weather does this week, it looks like it might be R**n - there is a high chance that the plan may need to change, we may not be able to make call on if trip is going ahead until Friday ***

It is your responsibility to ensure you have the right gear. Trip leaders can answer questions you might have. If you dont have the right gear you may get left at uni and leaders might be unwilling to take you in the future.

Gear store will be open ****** before the trip

You need to have been overnight hiking before and have the required gear. Numbers will be limited by # leaders available, gear and cars

*** We are keen for more people to organise some day trips to Lake Mountain or Mt Stirling or Mt St Gwinear, the next couple of weekends - let me know if you want to run one and I can assist with getting it organised!**
