Our goal for the day was to cover 33km! So, to get over the Davies Plain Ridge as quickly as possible, we were up at 5:30am and walking by 7am. Early on we met two deer hunters and had quick chats with each of them. Parks have done quite a lot of work on the route through this area and have re-routed the track in parts so we were able to move reasonably quickly which was helpful.
Once we hit the top of the ridge we were on skis again and sporting the 'not-so-cool' skis and shorts look. :) We were able to ski the upper part of the descent before switching to hiking boots for the steep descent into Dead Horse Creek.
The area through Limestone Creek and Stony Creek was beautiful however it was totally overrun with wild brumbies. It was great to cover another big distance but our bodies were starting to really feel it. Recovery was definitely happening much slower than it had 13 years ago when we last did this trip.
It was once again a big evening of navigating under torchlight for a couple of hours, making for a 9:00 pm finish and a 14-hour day.
