Re: Hunter Range Trip - 1st of Nov 2008
Hey Tony,
I'm not sure about the GPS coords....I just copied them out of the book.
As for the weather, I agree 100% about the wet. The thing is, I don't think it will be that wet. In the past three days, Putty and Howes Valley (the 2 weather stations in the area we are heading) have had less than 5mm rain. If you compare this to the period before Zhivan went up a couple of weeks ago (where they had over 20mm) and he though the grip standard was OK.
It's going to be 34 degrees up there tomorrow, so the clay will be baking hard. The rain models show falls moving from the west towards the ranges by Saturday evening, with some drizzle on the coastal fringe.
All in all, as Jalal said, each member should make a choice as to whether they will attend or not. Unless the forecast changes, I will be heading up. I'm really happy for people to make their own mind up as to whether they will attend or not. There'll always be another trip!!

Dave and all
Reconfigured the GPS and the co-ordinates are in degrees and minutes, not degrees, minutes, seconds.

Re: Hunter Range Trip - 1st of Nov 2008
Hi Dave, and all,
Thanks for the advice, it is much appreciated. Read (and re-read) all of the threads and I'm in two minds as to what to do. I've been over some fairly rough sections of track doing some of the other Boiling Billy treks and have never had a problem, but it has always been dry. I'd really love to attend but I'm conscious that the worst section when wet may be the last section which also seems to be the part that is most likely to be wet if the showers arrive later in the day as forecast. I think I'll check the forecast and the forum again tonight and make a decision then.
