Ok basic plan is leave horseyard head billy goats check out pinnacles into talbotville by lunch to hook up with big Kev. Head up via brewery close track to my Sarah then back down tea tree dropping back into talbotville camp the night there. Sunday head up via basalt to blue rag and go all the way down to the end. Decide if we stay there and explore a bit or head back up and see where we end up. Next day head towards Mayfird and have a look around at a few tracks and slowly make our way to wherever??. Nothing is solid and will decider as a group as you may want to do a certain track or see a certain site. Big Kev has spent a bit of time up there so with his knowledge and my wisdom and stupidity I’m sure we will have a bit of fun. Remember if there are no photos it didn’t happen. See you all tomorrow except for Kev:-)
