Square Top, Round & Fosters Mountain Walk

5/10/13

Party: Neil & Steph

Grade:  Mostly difficult off track overgrown scrub bashing.

Track notes:
As we were quite disorganised Dad and I didn't leave until the Saturday morning. On the drive down south to the Budwangs we realised that we had forgotten all the dry food and had to stop at Woolies on the way.

At about 10am after this set back we were finally on foot- the plan was meant to be to climb 5 mountains of about 300m height. However after we had climbed our first mountain- Square Top- we quickly came to realise this would be too ambitious. The scrub on this mountain was very thick and to top it all off we didn't even get the reward if a great view from the top because it was overgrown.

We then climbed Round Mountain and it was the same story. By this time it was getting dark so we decided to set up camp on the side of a fire trail as we didn't think we would make the camp cave off of Fosters mountain, and also weren't sure there would be any drinking water on the top of it.

The next day we climbed Fosters mountain and then headed through some swamps back to the car. All in all it was a bit of a disappointing weekend as we didn't get any good views and the walking off track was quite difficult.
