Smitten merino at Waterfall Bay

Smitten merino battles summer storm

On Saturday I drove my daughter Brooke down to Eaglehawk neck ( Tasman Peninsula) for a round of the Junior surfing Championships. I dropped her off at the comp with a storm brewing.

With Brooke's heat hours away it was a good opportunity to check out a beautiful walk to Waterfall Bay not far away.With rain beginning to fall and winds getting extreme I set off in smitten merino T-shirt and leggings. The walk is utterly spectacular following the cliffs until i reached a small creek which was beginning to flow nicely. A little track criss-crosses the creek and at one point runs behind the curtain of a waterfall. Utterly beautiful looking through the curtain at the rainforest. The creek finishes with a huge plunge over the Cliff edge. You must check out this walk. Even with driving wind and rain I was warm!!

Cheers

Introducing Adam Holbrook

Hi there.
My name is Adam and this is my first Blog. I'm a keen bushwalker here in Tasmania, and a photographer. Feel free to check out my website at TasmaniART

When walking in the Tasmanian wilderness you can find yourself in some remote locations, so you need to be pretty self sufficient. So it’s important to be able to rely on your gear in such conditions. I therefore look for the best equipment that I can afford.

I’ve known about Smitten merino for some time, and everyone that I know that’s tried it has agreed it’s excellent stuff. So I’ve just gone and spoilt myself and got a few layers, replacing the poly thermals that are getting a bit tired, with some merino ones. Better still, locally made!

Now I’m really looking forward to my next walk which is coming up towards the end of this month, so I can try out my new Smitten gear.

Looking forward to sharing with you all some more of my adventures, both ones that I have done, and those which I am yet to do.

Cheers, Adam. TasmaniART

An 8 day walk which involved the summits of Mt Pelion West, Mt Achilles, Achilles Heel, Perrins Bluff, Mt Thetis and Paddys Nut, not to mention some interesting tracks between them all.

The South Coast Track over 9 days was fun, as was the trip into the Western Arthurs.
