Anyone keen to go? WSW winds increasing throughout the day. Have never really tried it from this direction, as we've always had WNW winds. The run should work well though (potentially even better). I'd most likely drive in Wednesday morning, sail and then head back to Hobart that night.

Yep, Wednesday is no longer looking too good and Sat/Sun/Mon now looking quite promising. I'm keen. Will just keep looking at the weather to see when might be best.

Gday izaak. i should have said that i have a 4x4 ute . I just need to follow someone in as i have not been there. Having said that i am quiet happy to take a passenger as long as they can drive up to Wilmot. Not working at the moment so can go any day.

Sounds like we've got some good interest in the next trip in. As Izaak says, just a matter of keeping an eye on the weather for the next big system!!

Sunday could still be OK!! I don't mind going for a look again, as long as some wind is forecast.

Dont worry about the wet Fubbs, the tracks not that bad it's the snow thats forecast you might have to contend with if you are going over the Cradle Mt link road.

I would like to take you up on the offer of the spare seat and I can show you the way all we need now is wind.
