Great hike but tough, during winter, autumn and early spring, expect very bogy conditions, parts of the rough path will be waterlogged so dress accordingly, during summer months it is easier but with zero shade, few good water sources so bring plenty, oh and horseflies !!! Great endurance hike tho really fun ; )

Smashing loop walk of Sorrell & Black Hill . We tried beach section to return but reservoir water was too high . Road back was fine , not too long . With only 600m elevation on Sorrel, it's a nice handy stretch. Great views ! 👏
