Trampers Report for Jim Freeman/Porky’s 30/10/19
A well planned tramp!!!
Previous days there had been some heavy rain and Arthur took on the task of planning a good tramp, even with a bad weather report for the day. He decided to take us on reasonably dry tracks. The Jim Freeman track was the choice. We wandered along a pleasant track finally reaching Ben Rudd’s shelter for morning tea.
The track then headed up to the ridge to meet the Flagstaff Swampy track. The sun was shining with a steady breeze.
We walked until we came to the Porky track junction where we had lunch.
We followed Porky’s track down to Possum busters track
and finally back onto the Jim Freeman track – there were a few damp spots! And back to where we started.
Coffee was planned for Blend. We were all having our coffee and snacks when an enormous gust of wind came with heavy sleety rain which blew a tree over next to Blackstone coffee bar. This provided the icing on the cake!! Plenty to look at and plenty of advice while it got cleaned up.
Well planned Arthur!!!
