(13) 14-15 July Beginners Snow Camp at Guthega S/M. Two days of snow shoeing &/or cross country skiing in Guthega, with tours of Tate East Ridge and Guthega Trig. This trip caters to those who have done overnight camping before, but would like to learn to camp in the snow. There will be time to take photos, do side trips (with day packs), or just sit and appreciate the beauty of the Main Range. We’ll depart Friday evening at 4PM, stop to hire gear if required, and then drive to Island Bend to camp for the night. Saturday morning we’ll drive the cars to Guthega and snowshoe / ski 1.5 km with overnight packs to camp along Guthega River, near the log crossing. The tours will be suitable for beginner snowshoers who are reasonably fit, but will only suit cross country skiers with some experience of steep gradients. THIS TRIP WILL BE RUN JOINTLY WITH THE CANBERRA BUSHWALKING CLUB Maps: Perisher Valley 8525-2S & Geehi Dam 8525-2N Leader: Karen C Transport: Estimate per car (including parks pass) ~$140
