Stillwater 13,933 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Todays program is just a short hop for a pilot, but a giant hike for the walker. From the campgrounds at Cradle Mountain airstrip... ... up Cradle Mountain Road... ... to Dove Lake parking. Meanwhile the car access is limited, once it´s reached full capacity you´d better take the bus to get here. That was easier 18 years ago. But we had to face the usual weather. A hard climb uphill leads you to Marions Lookout, overlooking the entire Dove Lake. We walked around it, but couldn´t climb up in the old times, so this lookout is still on the list... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gumbypickett 880 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Nice shots Gerold, love the chopper. Only 2 days out of summer and we have already had a dusting of snow on the Highlands. We had hail here yesterday with a brief cold snap following an ordinary Summer. As you know in Tas, you don't go up to the Highlands unprepared no matter what time of year it is. cheers Gumby 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Money helps to fly these moving wing things: The add-on ones are much easier to control than the FSX/P3D default ones. 14 hours ago, gumbypickett said: Nice shots Gerold, love the chopper.

I have been in Tas in March and April and have always used a big variation of jackets... Our next visit is planned in November, do you think that is safe enough to avoid slippery rocks? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No guarantee when it comes to slippery rocks Gerold. However Nov was a warm month here then it all went down hill during Summer. 7.30 am here as I write and its 5deg c heading for 20deg. cheers Gumby 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And getting better. Good to learn that a warm November is possible in Tas, but one never knows... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
