Old Man Hut to Starveall Hut

January 12 15.2 km 7.25 hours

Weather no better the next day - not a lot of wind, but cloud everywhere, so left it for 2 hours before deciding to move on. So then a day in cloud all day passing over a number of high open points with no views, and at times only able to spot the next marker pole half way towards it.

Great country though, so we definitely aim to be back on a fine day to enjoy the views from all the high points - 3 over 1500m. Arrived at Starveall Hut and warmed things up for a short while with our only fire of this trip.

Forecast for the next day of gales of up to 130kph in the Richmond Ranges, so we were pleased that we had reached this point already. Some heavy rain and wind at times overnight.
