Hey all,
Am taking the girlfriend for her first hike/camp trip. She's a very capable hiker - happily do 20-30km in a day. But shes never been hike in camping!
Taking her to Grampians next weekend. What would be the most epic route for her? (full disclosure, I've never been either, but plenty of camping experience)
Right now my best plan:
Day 1: Borough huts to Bugiga, set up camp and then do sunset loop to sundail lookout. We will get a ride from halls gap to borough to save what Ive heard is a boring section (or I'll drop her off and run it)
Day 2: Bugiga => Halls Gap, DRIVE to Buandik and then hike in to Fortress bush camp. Camp there.
Day 3: Hike out
What I love? Doing some of the highlights reel and then combining it with some more adventure / bush camping experience.
What I don't love? Having to go back to the car and drive in the middle of Day 2.
Any better ideas? The other one I was considering is Major Mitchell?
It's worth noting - we have two days prior in Halls Gap so could do some of the more popular routes as (half)day hikes while we're there.
Any and all advice is really appreciated.
