Mount Solitary 3 day hike

This event will follow the overnight hike to the Ruined Castle. Those who attend the Ruined Castle hike are welcome to join this hike and continue hiking.
We will stay until all the participants of the previous hike are collected and then walk to the Scenic Railway shop for the cold drink before departing for the Cedar Gap. We will camp at Kedumba Crossing on Monday night and return to Wentworth Falls on Tuesday afternoon.
We recommend youth register with a buddy from either their own unit or neighbouring unit. In case we don't have two leaders, youth who apply must be comfortable working in a youth patrol without direct adult supervision, working under peer supervision. Tristan can either walk at the front or back and meet with participants regularly. 

This activity may be cancelled at short notice due to health requirements.
