Thread: How's the recon going for the roar?

Headed out to Totara Flats yesterday, got as far as the cone hut track by the second bridge where we were going to head up and sidle along towards the flats and found out the mountain race was going through, also found out S&R in conjunction with the police dog handlers had exercises in the valley all weekend so decided to turn back. Glad we did cause on the way back we bumped into a few people heading out that way.... like about 100 members of the Vic Uni Tramping Club (not joking about the number either) going out to camp on the flats for the weekend.
Probably would have seen less people if I'd gone hunting at Coastlands mall.

S&R had apparently dropped 9 groups of people off around the valley for their teams to find, rather than risk an accident or interfering in their training we decided to leave them to it.
