NewStars Elite’s ‘Tassie Tops’ event, is designed to complete a hike challenge in the changing terrain of the seasons.
Our Challenge for Autumn this year was to summit Mount Claude and Mount Vandyke on the same day.
This was a 9 hour hike (including breaks), starting from Round Mountain lookout to Mount Claude then on to Mount Vandyke and down to O’Neills car park where we had left another car.
A good 4 of those hours were spent on very steep gruelling slopes, there wasn’t a lot of signage so we weren’t sure if we found Mount Claude summit. We followed a sign that said ‘lookout’ which we think was the summit.
We also didn’t see a trigg point for Mount Vandyke just a sign that said Mount Vandyke with some boulders behind it.
