Assuming the Leven section of the PCT will have taken a big hit . . .

Does anyone know the condition of roads in the NE? In particular Blessington Road, Mathinna plains road and Upper Esk road. The TasAlert page has them being closed (http://www.alert.tas.gov.au/Pages/map.aspx) however I assume that perhaps they havent been updated as this would mean there is no current access to Ben Lomond ski field when according to their facebook the road is open. The forecast is looking good for tomorrow so I was hoping to go and tick off a few NE Abels if I can make it through the road network.

The Blessington Rd is definitely open and in good condition, as is the Upper Blessington Rd (as of last weekend)

Thanks Russ, I just saw your post in the other topic RE Ben Nevis. I was thinking Ben Nevis and Saddleback, if I can drive along Paradise Plains and Mathinna Plains Rd.
