Any specific requirements?

NOTE: This trip commences on Friday morning from Mansfield. Please ensure your are able to take the time away from work before booking.

All equipment and recovery equipment required as per the trip rules. Some tracks require knowledge and experience, particularly if they are wet. Agressive AT or MT tyres and snorkel required for river crossings.

We will make every endeavour to camp at the locations provided with facilities, however this will be dependant on how busy it is. Please ensure you are fully self sufficient. Take enough food, water and fuel for 3 full days in the High Country. Bear in mind, weather in the High Country can change quickly, so ensure you are prepared.

Some of the huts on Stirling require a small, hilly walk to access, but no more than 500m.

Bring your camera!
