Hi all
I'm spending a few days next month at Cradle Mtn and am looking at doing some day walks at and around Cradle Mtn area. One option I am considering is to start at Dove Lake, and go via Lake Hanson, Twisted Lakes, Lake Rodway Track past the lake, rejoin Overland then via Marions lookout and the Marriotts Lookout Link track back down to Dove Lake Carpark. It looks to be a very viable day walk. It looks to be roughly 15 or so km?? But it does looks like some steep sections here and there. But I would like to ask a few q's
- Does anyone have the exact kms?
- Roughly how long was it in time?
- I am toying with the idea of tacking in Cradle Summit, thus I think it may be better to do the reverse direction that I just listed so I go up that fresher and earlier in the day (weather permitting of course)
- Assuming I made the call to not summit on that day (there is a chance I'll do a shorter summit walk on another day), is there are any advantage to do this circuit clockwise or anti-clockwise?
- Any other suggestions, gotchas etc to keep an eye out for?
