Hi guys, casting for any interested persons as the colder weather approaches.
Planning an overnight trip camping above the snowline around Mt Matlock or similar. Will be a short notice trip has to be done based on availability of the white stuff so can't plan it weeks ahead. It will involve a night in the snow either swagging or roof-top tenting hopefully a great photo opportunity in the morning if we get a dusting or dumping overnight while we are there.
For this reason you MUST be equipped for the cold, have a vehicle mounted winch, dual batteries, jumper leads, a radiator full of good anti-freeze and agressive A/T or M/T tyres 33" minimum in case its a dump- even snow chains if you've got them, FULL recovery gear, everyone bring some dry firewood and be prepared to huddle round a fire freezing our butts off, or sit in the car with the heater on lol. Suggest Alpine diesel if you're an oil burner too, never know how chilly it might get or how long we might be there......... So food and drink reserves too just in case. Hopefully no body heat sharing.
Anyway, its something I have on the bucket list, anyone else game ?
Cheers.
