I decided to head up to Erica on the Friday arvo and stay at the Erica Caravan Park for the night rather than leave home at 'sparrows' on Saturday morning for our daytrip. Added bonus was having the 'hot rocks eye fillet' at the pub, which as usual was magnificent.
Saturday morning everyone arrived at the pub on time and after grabbing a coffee and a bite to eat, we made our way to the 1st track of the day, being Low Saddle. I reversed the direction of the trip as personally I prefer driving Deep Ck 1 & 4 in the opposite direction to drive up the steep sections of both tracks, rather than drive down them. Leaving Erica it was a 15 min drive to Narrows Rd where we all let our tyres down.
The trip leader then missed the turn off to Low Saddle, so we all had to make a U Turn. My excuse was I hadnt been there for over 8 years, and now being an 'old tosser', my memory was not that flash..
We then arrive at the river crossing, which in the past has been quite deep, but today was very low so no issues for anyone driving the crossing.
The 1st section of Low Saddle after the river crossing was a nice climb, and we all agreed; "It would be interesting in the wet". We then made our way to the Beardsmore junction and then headed to what is still my favourite track in the HC; Fultons Creek Tk.
