Can you recall what was written on the little sign across the opp side of the river in the photo about 6 images back - with the pink stick?

They had 40lt of water in each back pack and they were walking it in to planned check points for an Ultra Cross Country Marathon happening that weekend. They could not believe that we drove through the bog holes...... Their Runners were going to Run through them..... In Both Directions as part of a 50km (There and Back) run up $1000 track... The participants would have Wet feet at the start of the race as they had to run across the river and then straight up the hill. Insane People.Quote:

Some of the Bog holes are Waist Deep, the Smart runners would run along the edge surely? Mad as a Cut Snake.
An interesting ABC Youtubey just popped up:
Those Tassie rocks on Climies were 1.5 Billion years old and were never connected to the Mainland as we know it[emoji848]

Can this thread be transferred to Trips & Treks - Tas? Had to dig deep to find it here in General Chat.
There are a couple of other trip reports I can't find now because they weren't put in trips and treks section.
Done. Good idea. Any others mate just tag me or bump and I will move them. No probs.Quote:

FWIW: Cats out of the bag obviously now, hindsight says it’s a good thing to educate adventurers of the potential dangers on Climies Track but Fair Dinkum I thought it was a Vegas/Vegas scenario to not worry our better halves for next parole release [emoji848][emoji23]

I must agree. Threads and photo dumps of trips like this have to be viewed at ongoing intervals.
Starts building from the placid starting photo at Maccas car park and just gets more epic from there. Love it!
