I was meant to be doing the aawt in November, but alas lockdowns and track closures have put an end to that. I was hoping to do similar Kilometers each day as what I would be on the AAWT.
The circuit I've come up with is pretty taxing, but that's what I'm after, an outdoors camping bootcamp to burn off lockdown laziness...
Day 1- mt lock carpark- to cope hut area
Day 2- cope hut to big River crossing on Timms
Day 3- Timms - over Bogong, and down back to the aawt ,over big River at t spur up to ropers
Day 4 - ropers to Bogong jack saddle
Day5- Bogong jack saddle to Blair's hut
Days 6 Blair's to feathertop then back to the carpark.
150kms, should have me hobbling for a week afterwards.
Of course if it's recommended Big River will be to high at t spur crossing I'll have to come up with a new plan.

I'm guessing type 2 to type 3, or if you're a nutcase, type 1.

Black possum is fine, just a fire trail. Mt Arthur track is steep and rough but all clear. There were 3 or 4 short sections where the scrub has grown over the track on the bogong Creek saddle side of Mt Arthur, otherwise all clearpaidal_chalne_vala wrote:What was Black Possum spur like? I have never walked that route before. Somebody told me it has been cleared/ recut.
