Day 2 – Saturday 26th: Mount Solitary to Jamison Creek (9.6km)
Day 3 – Sunday 27th: Jamison Creek to Scenic world (11.2km)
We we will be doing this hike at a more relaxed pace across 3 days. However, this is still an intermediate trip and preference goes to those with previous overnight hiking experience. Please state your experience when you sign up.
To conclude the trip on Sunday evening, we certainly will reward ourselves with a few pints before making our ways back home.
