In the middle of the Pandemic of lockdown here in Victoria. Unable to leave our homes, unable to see family and friends, made this is a very dark place for us all I am sure.
I was looking back at my goals I had noted at the start of the year and set out to smash it out. Organise and lead 1 big trip.
During lockdown I realised not how much I wanted, but how much I needed to get out and explore our beautiful country has to offer.
I came across a video on Youtube from a bloke I am subscribed too. You may have heard of him Tim Bates (Only every 4wder out there has heard of him I am sure).
He made a video during lockdown explaining a glorious route with 10 huts in 1 weekend. I realised there was alot I hadn’t experienced in the Victoria High Country in Particular Craig’s Hut. So I noted them all down and jotted the tracks and waypoints manually via my Hema Explorer mapping software and I set out to plan my first trip.
The next morning with a plan of seeing 10 Huts in 1 Weekend. I jumped on my friends website 4wdtrip.com.au and submitted my first trip. They introduced a handy feature to set the start date as TBA. So I knew it was going to be easy to submit and make me accountable for when the time comes.
Within a day or 2 it was filled.
So since Dan Andrews made the call to let Victorians out again. I set the date and off we went.
We set out to meet up on the Friday Night at Buttercup Campground
No 4.
The plan was to wake up early, meet Kelvin from 4wdtrip and set off around 8.30am.
See more details of the trip on my site.
