5.00Bring warm clothing to layer for the first part of the ride. Understand the ride from the summit is steep, very cold, and windy. Bring a camera or phone that can capture pictures and videos - the trip is beautiful throughout. Our guides Richard Sampson and Oliver Fewster-Sharman were outstanding!!!
Tasmanian Trails!
