Snowys Expedition Day 7 has seen rain come to the mountains after an amazing day on trail previously. Patrols woke to heavy fog and some drizzle and a slower start to the morning, after a big day yesterday. As the day wore on the weather turned a little more serious with visibility dropping to 50m or so, the wind picking up and the rain increasing. Up around 2000m Sentinel patrol got the full experience of the weather and the challenges of navigating and walking in such conditions. Tarn err… “Petite Princes Patrol” (PPP) as they now wish to be known, dropped down into the valley where the snowy river begins,  following it down towards tomorrows destination of Guthega. They were fortunate to have a food drop and may have spent some time in the expedition bus powdering their noses, as princesses do. Brumby patrol by all accounts had a good day, and we look forward to photos in due course (owing to no cell reception in that area). Brumby patrols 4WD vehicle, “the catfish express” though had at least some minor excitement to report on and had fresh fish for dinner?

Its days like today that you really appreciate the planning, skills and physical training, thankyou to our patrol leaders and guides for all the months of work you have put in to the expedition!
