Report: Quick drive up towards Cathedral Ranges via Black Spur which was all fogged up. Stacks of 4wd tracks between Narbethong and Marysville. Got into the range and set up camp in slightly dreary conditions. Good night by the campfire. Next day cooked some damper and just chilled out. Had a fish, caught a small rainbow and then went for a small 4wd around the area. Not that many 4wd tracks to be had, but lots of hiking to be done in this area. Headed home the following day on a lovely arvo.
