Mt Freycinet circuit times

Postby bluewombat » Thu 14 Nov, 2019 3:29 pm

Hi all
I struggled to find much info on the forum regarding walking times for the Mt Freycinet walk, so here are some (early 60s male, reasonably fit, 11 kg pack including water, overnighter)
Car park to start of Cook's beach ie where the turnoff to the Mt Graham track starts 2 hr 45 mins
Mt Graham track to turn off to Mt Freycinet 2 hrs
Turn off to Mt Freycinet to summit 45 minutes (up)
Turn off to Mt Freycinet to southern end of Wineglass Bay via Mt Graham 2 hrs 15 mins
Southern end Wineglass bay to Car Park 1 hour 30 minutes
Not much dawdling but a few short rests
cheers
BW
ps there are a couple of nice spots to camp on Mt Freycinet not hard to find
pps have edited as I was guilty of putting down the wrong bay, as per Eggs comment

Hmmm
I suspect we should substitute Wineglass Bay for Coles Bay in your last few lines.

Disclaimer - this was for 55/60 to 70 year olds...
Have done this as a 3 day walk twice now - the blue wombat's description appears to be a lightly loaded day walk.
And did carry a lot of water each time.
Car park via coast walk to Hazards Beach southern camp was 2.5 to 3 hrs
From there to Cooks Beach/Mt Graham turnoff was another hour.
T/off to Mt Freycinet junction was 2:25
Mt Freycinet ascent was 1:25
Mt Freycinet junction to south Wineglass Bay was 3:15
Back to the car was 1:50 to 2 hrs.

Might have been a little more dawdling in those figures.
We did camp on Mt Graham on the first walk and on Mt Freycinet 5 years later.

I'm sure those topless sunbathers are thrilled that a creepy old man took photos of them and uploaded it to the internet :?
