Lees Paddock Track

Postby ybi2 » Sun 08 Jan, 2012 12:59 pm

Hi there. I am new to this website. So I hope I have put this question in the right section. I have already walked into Pelion Hut via the Arm River Track. Can any one out there tell me the distance of walking into Pelion Hut via Lees Paddock track thanks.

I hope you are aware that the track is harder to follow in both directions than the Arm River track, between Lees paddocks and where it joins the other track.

Thanks guys. Yes I am aware that it is harder to follow. I have a map and compass. I was a Scout Bushwalking Leader. I could see how hard the track is to follow when I did the Arm River Track before. Normally I would do the Arm River Track to Pelion however, this time I will be on my own and the only transport that I can find that goes that way has a party going to the start of Lees Paddock Track then returning from the end of the Arm River Track in March. To hire the bus just for myself is to expensive. I am even thinking of driving from Sydney to the Arm River Track (using the ferry naturally) and leaving the car then until I return.
