Tuesday 25 July 2023
This a walk I have
done a few times and avoids a portion of fire trail walking It is more enjoyable done as a
circuit and is not overly scrubby and makes for more interest. The route headed over the plains
to the Mount Connection saddle and then it was just a matter of turning north and
picking a way over the rising hill, dropping down to the small saddle with Tom
Thumb.
During the crossing of
this area, which is effectively the eastern end of Mount Connection, we came upon cairns and tapes I found it surprising and said I would avoid
following them, so had to dismantle a few, which caused some amusement.
Once un the gully
below Tom Thumb it was a fairly easy to locate a way to the top, but it was the
descent that tricked and we missed a turn and got into a bit of a scramble before
eventually getting back on track.
