Stan's Kosi Weekend

Stan's Kosi Weekend

Sat 28th Jan 2023

Completed 2 Days+

Walk, Lodge Based, Social

Charlotte Ppass and Village are named after Charlotte Adams, who, in 1881, was the first European woman to climb Mount Kosciuszko. Stan Marks lead an annual ‘Kosi weekend’ for over 20 years up until his passing in 2021.This activity is held in his memory.
The group will travel up to Charlotte Pass on Saturday, returning on Monday, staying at Snowbird Ski Lodge. Anyone who would like to spend more or less time is welcome to do so, by prior arrangement. True to Stan's legacy, this is as much a social activity as it is a bushwalking activity. Therefore, it is a relaxing weekend with a variety of walks to cater for the majority of abilities within the group, from L/R/X to M/E-M. Walk options include Mt Twynam via Blue Lake, Mt Stillwell, Watsons Crags, Lake Circuit, and Guthega to Charlotte Pass.
Catering is on the basis of everybody brings something to share for the evening meals, and a roster will be drawn up for this to make sure we have enough of everything for our dinners. Self-catering arrangements for breakfast and lunches. There are limited supplies available in the village, so best to bring whatever food and drinks you require to meet your own needs for the duration. There is a domestic kitchen, fridges, oven/cooktop, microwave, slow cooker, cooking items, cutlery and crockery supplied.
