To finish off my holidays before going back to work I ventured on a trip to Wilsons Prom. The trip was for three days starting at Telegraph Saddle, then hiking to Little Waterloo Bay and camping there for the night. Moving onto the Roaring Meg after stopping off at the Lighthouse on the south east point of ‘The Prom’ and finishing back at Telegraph Saddle on the third day.
The trip required the three of us to to hike approximately 46Km over three days and 16Km of this was done on the second day. We had everything we would need for the three days in our packs: tents, sleeping bags, food etc… and my pack was around 11Kg from memory.
The highlight for me was on the second day, arriving at the Lighthouse. The views form there were fantastic. It was defiantly worth the insanely steep climb, with heavy packs and very sore feet. While there It was nice to fall asleep in the sun for a while before finishing the journey to Roaring Meg.
The hike from Waterloo to Roaring Meg didn’t take as long as we thought it would, so we ended up arriving rather early, leaving with us the need to find a way of killing time. This proved to be difficult so we went to bed early and woke up at 3:00am so we could start the hike back to Telegraph Saddle by 4:00am. It might sound ridiculous but we did get an awesome view of sunrise at Oberon Bay.
A three day hike was pretty painful on the feet but the views that I saw on this trip were absolutely fantastic and made it worth it. I will definitely be doing this again!
