| The trail was quite overgrown which certainly adds to the difficulty of this walk, in saying that don't be put off doing the trek it's really really worth while getting to the eastern summit. It's very step getting to the final climb which is also not that easy to find. Thankfully I got some great tips here. So when you get to the base of the eastern peak traverse to the right it's a reasonable way round, keep looking for the tape markers on some roots and branches that lead the way to the summit then climb very carefully. Once again don't get put off but the push for the summit is not for the faint hearted. Along the way you'll see plenty of snake holes and as well as a few snakes a bit of local wildlife. For most of the walk you are in constant contact with the flora, long sleeves and leg protection will make your life a lot more comfortable in the days following this walk. I wasn't at any stage concerned about losing the trail it pretty much follows the fence line. That fence is your friend and guide as long as you know where that is you'll be fine. Have fun and be safe |
