Post-trip note: Return via HRT to Sparrowhawk is a good option for B1’s & B2’s; 5 hrs is plenty for both. Spencer Creek to viewpoint is NOT a good option for C’s as a couple of quite steep places – will modify/add trip locations including a new trip for C’s HRT from Sparrowhawk that can be used in future trips in this vicinity.
