yep, no worries, there will be 5 of us in 3 tents over 2 sites

- and you just look for the second oldest bugger on Mt. Buffalo at sites 02 &03!

I was trying to be funny about the abseilers picnic.

I am up for the weekend, originally intending to do the big north wall abseil with Dave Chitty, but my wife reckons a 160m abseil is too boring and the big climb out too hard, You can't win! So we are now doing a lesser trip on the south wall. DC said it wasn't worth his while doing the north wall with only three people and it was going to be too expensive anyway, so now there is 5 of us doing the south wall. The plan is to abseil one day and do a day walk the other. This is actually a club trip with the VMTC (Victorian Mountain Tramping Club) of which I have been a member for the last 38 years.

While I am up there I would be keen to see what you climbers are doing and I would also like to show the others the view of the North Wall and the Defender rap which I would like to do again some time.
