A stunning sunny spring day on KW1 and Milligan. I got geographically :lol: and scrubbily challenged contouring to avoid snow drifts and ran out of time for Pit. A really fine day walk. I may have been following the remnants of Bigbird's footsteps in the snow.

I need more free time!

Or perhaps I just need to organise myself better.....

Lovely day for it.

Awesome shots of a great walk! Somehow I think that our footprints had probably been destroyed by then, and besides, the prints from my last trip wouldn't have taken you all the way to the top anyhow ;) Tried again a couple of weekends ago and turned back about 500m from the summit due to deep drifts of snow, wind and falling snow. Disappointing, as I would have loved to have seen it from the top with a good covering of snow, but such is life in Tassie in winter I fear!

Glad to see you got to the top :) One more off the list!

Have you been to the summit of KW1 yet Bigbird?
I also went to Little Hugel the next day, snow meant I would not even contemplate the full Hugel.
