Mt Buffalo in Winter Grade 3, 10km Snowshoe POSTPONED

Meet at Mt Buffalo Park entrance at 9.30am. Please consider car pooling from Albury Wodonga.

This trip will be a day exploring the trails around Mt Buffalo. Distance of approximately 10km depending on the group.

Weather permitting, plan to have lunch somewhere out on the trail so pack something to eat, a warm drink and something to sit on. 

 Please check what to bring on the day. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Suitable for anyone wanting to try snow shoeing. 

The club no longer has snowshoes, so BYO, hire, or borrow. I have one set available for borrowing if organised in advance. If you plan on driving your own car from the park entrance, you will need to carry snow chains.

Please be aware that snow trips may be cancelled at short notice if weather conditions change and become dangerous.

Text me on 0429 145 498 if you'd like to be involved in car pooling from Wodonga.
