ITINERARY
Day 1
Leave our base camp “Oberon Lodge “ in Merrijig, heading out for some of the finest singles our backyard has to offer. We’re straight into it from our front gate. Easy/harder options all day. We have awesome singles, great fire trail, logs, hill climbs, creek & river crossings. Too much to mention, but we can do it all. Some of the best terrain is just at our finger tips. We’ll end up on the Delatite River for lunch, before we take off again gaining some altitude & high Country Huts.
Day 2
Day 3
With our overnight bag packed head toward Sheepyard Flat, dropping into check out who’s home at Fry’s Hut ( 1 of the last original cattleman huts in the area). Heading further south we begin to tackle the ridges & valleys, passing through the old slate mine, before our descent into Upper Jamieson River. Climbing again up onto the side of Mt Skene where we’ll enjoy lunch either on the river or on the mountain (weather dependant). We start to make our way in to the ever challenging terrain of the Black River, before the oasis of the Woodspoint township greets us.
Depart the charismatic Commercial Hotel, we head North toward Frenchmans Gap, down German Spur, before the ascension onto Mt Terrible. Taking in the superb views looking to the back of Mt Buller, glimpsing the Delatite Valley, & looking across to Mt Matlock & Skene is all part of the package offered on this ridge. We begin our decent on of the “Super Fire Break” ridgeline rides, ending up at the Jamieson Brewery for a hard earned Burger & chips on the lakeside views of Lake Eildon. Last stretch home includes 1 last crossing of the Howqua River at Running Creek, before we enter Dungeon Gully, climbing up past Homestation Creek, finishing our day for a cold one at the Hunt Club Hotel.
