Overland Track Part III

I'm almost certain to visit Tasmania for the third consecutive winter to do the Overland Track. The core group remains the same as the last two years but this year, we are more determined than ever to ascend to the majestic summits of Cradle Mountain and Mount Ossa. The plan is to stay in the northern section and we will have to wait patiently for the weather window to open to sneak up to the summits. The northern section is substantially higher than the southern end with lower temperature, higher winds and heavier snowfalls which means I probably need to carry some more food...

This will most probably be the last time I'll do this track in winter (for a while at least), so hopefully this year's mission will be a success. After experiencing the horrific weather in 2007, 2008 was relatively easy going but without one single mountain summited due to bad weather. Hopefully Overland Track Part III - The Final Act will be triumphant!
