Day 1 - Roses Gap - Longpoint East 20 km 6 hrs
Left Roses Gap and climbed via Beehive Falls up to the main GPT Track. Side trip to Brigg's Bluff and Mt Difficult. Tank and toilets at Longpoint West were good but campsites uninspiring. Guess we have been spoiled doing the GPT a couple of years ago. We had dinner at LPW and then decided to go the extra 20 mins to Longpoint East, well worth it but take water if you are travelling in Summer. We were lucky enough to have a small trickle across the track just back from the campsite. We cowboy camped to get a quick get away.
Day 2 - Longpoint East to Roses Gap 10 km 3 hrs
This was a good challenging morning. The track was quite overgrown departing LPE but thins out after 20 mins or so of climbing. The track then steepens on the descent and is quite rocky and nav becomes a little harder as markers are few and far between. You then pick up the main GPT trail and back track to Roses Gap. An enjoyable morning
If we did it again we would come up via troopers but having already done the GPT we wanted to see what the country was like from Beehive Falls
