Guthega power station to Valentine Hut
Fri 21st Feb 2025
Walk, Back-pack
Date amended due to bad weather. New date is 21 to 23 February.
Leaving work early on Friday, we will be doing a 3 day, 2 night walk in the Kosciuszko National Park.
Parking at the Guthega power station, we will walk up Horse Camp Hut for night 1 (5 km), before continuing the next morning to Schlink's pass and Schlink's Hut before reaching Valentines Hut for the second night, a distance of around 13 km, and on day 3, we start early and retrace our steps back to the Guthega Power station (Another 18 KM).
You are welcome to bring younger walkers, you will just need to sign an acknowledgement of risks before we start. Just reach out when you book yourself in and I will get them registered.
You will need to be fit, well prepared, and had previous overnight bushwalking experience, and remember that this is an alpine environment, and below freezing temperatures and snow are both a possibility.
I am fairly relaxed, and if we are running behind schedule, we will amend the plan and do a bit less, and if the weather forecast looks too bad, an alternate trip will be the Budawang's, parking at Wog Wog, walking into the Corang River, Canowie and Burrumbeet Brooks. I will give as much notice as possible if we need to go to the alternate.
