Trip Report

An assortment of families and individuals made the journey arriving at different times and setting out to different destinations.

The majority started off from the camp ground following the Fern track..then started up the Deer spur to little Mt Peel.The wind was not an issue on the ridge so most of us continued on to the top....two intrepid trampers came down the south ridge and were kindly met by the club taxi...Alan who had met Andrew Sarah and their son David who got to the top but came back the same way. Alan had run up the mountain...well he ran when we were watching him.

Followed a group BBQ...a first for Sachin and Divya then the next morning we did a series of short walks and game of cricket...some set off to see the giant Mt Peel lilies. Weather was great....group was great...accommodation at the camp was great.
