Nicols + Possum Hut

Adventure time! For those of you not doing Mt Somers... here's our own little mountain run. Route: Nicols Creek + Possum Hut loop, and back. Nicols MTB track up, turn right onto Swampy, continue on Silverpeaks track, turn right onto Possum Hut route. Comes out onto Mountain Road after 3.5km. Follow road right for 1km, until you get to a DOC sign/carpark, turn right onto track and continue 1km until you reach silverpeaks intersection. Turn left towards Swampy Summit and continue back. We'll run down the Nicols Creek Walking track, instead of the Nicols MTB track. This is more technical and not well marked, but still an obvious track down. Distance: 30+km Time: Expecting around 5hours. This is a very hilly, often technical route. Gear: Bring at least 1.5L water, food/electrolytes, wind/waterproof jacket, thermal beanie...etc. Everything you would bring on a long race. **If it is raining, we'll shorten the route and just do a 15km Nicols/Pineapple loop.
