Tyenna Peak

[ollster]

But we have a respectable amount.

Is there anything about me that is respectable?

[ILUVSWTAS]

Otherwise we'd be smashing the pts...

Thats IF you manage to climg the right high points....

Pretty easy when you've got a gps... not so easy when using sight and tasmaps...

Maybe Geryon North was kneeling down a bit the day Azz went up??

... so I think NNW may be making some assumptions that I'm somewhere around ILSWT's level. Suffice to say there is a bit of a gap.

No, I've always assumed that you're about as far ahead of him as he is ahead of me. Just that the way you phrased a couple of posts there makes it sound like you haven't yet done some of the peaks named.

*sigh*
I knew it was too good to be true.

It was only a year ago Ollster, azz and myself were all on around the same points.
I have been quite active the last year though, I think im around 110 in front of them now

Slightly less than 110, but yes. You're going to hit the wall soon. The law of diminishing returns kicks in eventually. You'll be like stu, running out of places to go.

He's still managing to keep a healthy distance in front of me! But yeh I know, one day you'll actually do some of these easy 1ptr's near by.

Too misty up on Field to do T & F, so I went up Field East and Tanina Bluff instead. Neither of which I rated very highly.

The Field East circuit is lovely!!!

It was a bit dull with 100m viewing distance. Just felt like a walk on Mt Welly. Welcome back, BTW!

[ILUVSWTAS]

Ahh yes true. Helps when you can actually see eh..... Still nice work!
How are you ever going to climb another mountain now you've done the mighty Tanina??

Thanks mate!! Feels good to be back! Walking when your sick isnt alot of fun... although boy o boy I slept like a log all 4 nights!!

[north-north-west]

If you were that crook why did you go?

[ollster]

If you were that crook why did you go?

ARE YOU MAD?!?! I certainly can't imagine ILUV missing a trip... maybe if a leg was swawn off...

I tried to pull out... but pulled out of a different (harder/longer) trip due to my dodgy back. Someone told me they "wernt going to let me pull out of this one too" And "you'll be right mate" ........

Anyway, I did my own thing at my own pace and had a good time!! Actually slept like a log for the first time ever in a tent! didnt even stir any of the 4 nights.

You're letting Ollie get away with that typo? Geeez, you MUST be sick.

[ILUVSWTAS]

What my big mate said was quite true, so I thought i'd let that one slide. Not that I have the right to pull anyone up on typos.....

Thinking about doing the circuit as a day walk this weekend anti clockwise from K col - florentine - tyenna - belton - mawson and back out via the golden staircase. How's the vegetation on the slopes between tyenna and lake belton, and also heading up to mawson from the saddle on the lake belcher track??

[ILUVSWTAS]

I can only pass on what i've heard from others as I havent done that loop myself, but i've heard it's pretty easy going. There's a good scree slope that goes up along way up Tyenna, you can follow that most of the way to avoid the scrub.
A friend and I did Tyenna return via Florentine from Dobson (over Rodway) in around 8hrs.

[weetbix456]

cool, thanks! sounds good. gimmi rock anyday! yea i'm hoping to get around in about 8 hours..if running out of time i'll probs just scoot out to wombat moor and back along the road but should be ok if the weathers happy

Coming down off Tyenna will be a doddle, scrub is only thigh high at worst, pad through buttongrass from Belton to the track below is vague but just keep heading down the obvious open section of buttongrass and you'll hit the track just above the river(creek really). The track up to the saddle below Mawson is very nice walking. If you are clagged in crossing from Florentine to Tyenna should only be done with great care navigation wise, I would bail on Florentine and back out in those conditions.

[weetbix456]

yea thanks SBS, pretty much covered everything i was wondering about. Your other tyenna trip topic was great help too, some nice photos! i'll let ya'll know how it goes

[weetbix456]

Didn't make it round in the end..got up to k col nice and early but couldnt see squat! Headed back and settled for the field E circuit instead. Have to save this walk for another day...might try it in the other direction next time.

[weetbix456]

Finally made it round a few weeks ago, woohoo! Had time to sneek mawson in too. Definitly up there with my favourite day walks! Thanks for all the info guys..heres a few snaps:-
