Day Trip

Mt Robertson Ridge Rambler 2
Trip Rating - Medium (Difficult if wet)

This is a repeat of last month's trip. Now on a Sunday for all those who had to work on a Saturday.
We are revisiting one of our older and more popular day trips. Since the 2009 fires. the regrowth has been great, but there is still evidence of the fire damage. Views from the ridges and spurs into the valleys on either side are excellent.
With a bit of ever present dampness from the forest the tracks are fun, add some rain and it's sure to make a few sections more challenging
