CANCELLED Guys Hut Camp v2.0, April 30th & May 1st 2022

Steve, they just increased it to 25 to 50mm! Not real good.

Going to CANCEL the trip. Saturday will be very wet, Sunday will be vey cold with snow forecast for Buller & Hotham.

But Monday is looking good.

Change the trip name to 'Snow Trip no permit required' ?

[Mike57]

Sounds sensible Steve. If you have enough enthusiasm to try a third time let me know.

That might happen, but in June or July, if there is a dump of snow, would just be a drive to Licola then up to Horseyard Flat to camp, most of the sidetracks being closed.

Hi Steve , I’m still up for this trip if you change your mind .
A bit of rain might make the tracks nice n sticky . No dust too . It looks like the rain should clear by Saturday afternoon.

Cheers .

Hi Steve , I’m still up for this trip if you change your mind.

Ummm . . . Ahhhh . . .

Weather forecast has improved a little bit, a lot less rain and no snow, but still a chance of thunderstorms Saturday afternoon but mainly it's now the wind that would be problem, up to 60kmh might see a few trees down. Sunday is looking great.

[richplezo]

Agh I see , it’s your trip Steve , so I will graciously accept your decision either way .
Im not too worried about the rain , the wind could be crappy as you said . Are there river crossings ? I guess rising rivers would be an issue if it’s belting down .

Maybe with all these wilder elements it would be best if we had at least 3 cars involved, not just you n me .
But yes - I’m still in if it evolves .
Just call me if there’s an update
0417481102 , my Zook is purring .

From memory there is only one small creek crossing, everything else is bridged.

If there is a break in the weather during May I might run this, or something similar, as a (very) short notice trip.

Ok Steve , thanks , i'll keep an eye out .
