Planning an overnight trip to Mt feathertop before the ski season starts to keep the alpine fitness. It will still be cold with chances of snow light snow. Especially near the summit. 

The plan is to drive up on friday night and camp at smoko campground. Then packup camp and head up to feathertop camping near federation but (tbc if either up bungalow spur or across Razorback) on Saturday. Then head back on sunday. 

FATMAP of a potential (hard) route.
