Higgs Track to Deloraine route sought

Tue 07 Nov, 2017 4:03 pm

At Christmas I'll be coming off the Central Plateau at Lady Lake Hut and Higgs Track. I'm unsure when I will get out but it will probably be a Sunday before noon. I'm hoping for a lift from the one of the thousands of tourists heading towards Deloraine, and am interested in the most common route that these people take. The map below shows:
1 the end of the road, red circle
2 the most westerly route, red cross
3 the middle route, yellow diamond
4 the most easterly route, blue circle.

Can someone please advise me which of these has the most vehicular traffic? Thank you.

I'm not a local but know that area pretty well and imagine other options from Mole Creek or Chudleigh could be just as 'profitable' as your offered suggestions.
Probably boils down to who's going where on the day and on which route,
There's a fair amount of coming and going either routes I'd suggest.

Sounds like your best option would be to take up the offer just made above.
No idea, probably a paid job, but could save a lot of frustration.
At least it takes any doubts and lengthy delays out of the equation.

Apologies simonm. My goof assumption.
Message to self. Don't make rash assumptions based on frivolous assumptions. :oops:

Definitely still the best way to travel.

PS. Lophophaps keep the jokes coming.

Simon, thanks, but after three weeks the battery will be well and truly flat, so no phone. PWS should have phone and iPad chargers at popular spots ...

I'd take the red x route if you'd like to make your own way otherwise I'll pm another option.
