Conditions update:
BOM long term weather forecast (MetEye) is pretty good. No rain, chilly first up but not freezing, warming to something like 12-14 degrees, some wind though and a little cloud.
Bush fire - there is a small fire only a few km to the northwest of the trip (Mount Davidson above the Wolgan Valley). NSW Parks last update is old - 21.7.17. Rural fire service isn't very current either last alert dated 28.7.17. It hasn't changed status over the last couple of days and seems localised. I'm guessing that Parks intent is simply to let it smoulder out (they generally like to let the smaller fires run out naturally). The wind predicted on the day would push it away. The Parks alert is simply to not cross into closed areas - there are none advised other than the usual management trails which we can't access anyway.
Also note that Kerry and I drove the trail last weekend, some smoke out over the Wolgan Valley but otherwise no impact whatsoever on the trip.
We will update again on Friday lunch time - but all systems are go!
Cheers
