Hiking:
The hikes will generally keep
to the tourist tracks. We will NOT
be hiking for 3 days carrying all our gear.
Gear:
The Scouts will only need to
carry their own snacks, water bottle and lunch. This will be a self-catered
trip, so you will need to pack main meals for each day. Everything needs to be
fairly small and light-weight as it all must be contained in your pack / bag.
This is because everyone's gear, food, etc. must fit in the luggage space under
the bus.
As for gear, you will need
reasonable hiking shoes, boots or sandshoes, wet weather gear, warm clothing,
hat, etc.
Meals for Each Scout to Provide:
Breakfast x 3
Lunch. 2 x packed + you provide
or buy lunch in Halls Gap on Monday. (3 x lunches).
Dinner x 2.
Snacks for travelling &
hiking.
Seats Are Still Available
If you want to take part in
this trip, payment of $100 is required ASAP. Payment can be made at Scouts.
Scouts, Venturers, Rovers, Leaders and Parents are all welcome to come along.
