Journal: |
I had a quiet day in Thredbo, eating, washing, strolling around
town, reading the paper and updating my diary. The highlights were
probably the purchase of $5 gloves and a $5 beanie at some ski store
clearance sales to help keep me warm in the next few days at
altitude.
Planning to make a 7am start tomorrow to get the daunting 400m
climb from Thredbo to the top of the chairlift (where I rejoin the
official AAWT route after the detour via Thredbo) with a
fully-loaded (five days food) pack out of the way early. For the
next couple of days I will be around 2000m much of the time in area
known for bad weather. I will also be walking cross-country for much
of the route, so the weather needs to be acceptable. Fortunately,
the forecast is reasonable, and I'm looking forward to some great
hiking.
