The plan is to head straight over the Highlands from Devonport for the first night at Strathgordon. It is followed by two nights at Tullah Lakeside Lodge on the west coast, single nights at Deloraine and St Helens, then a double-header in Hobart to finish. It is a double clockwise swirl that gets the west in first, just to confuse the anti-counterclockwisers.
Features of this Hunt include a multi-option day based from Tullah, quality time in the hills of northern Tasmania, working in the historic town of Ross (pictured) and sampling some new roads down south. The intended route is here. More detail was published in August Desmoto.

The event is capped at 36 riders. Pillions are excluded from the cap and must register separately. Riders, please register for the main event first as you are subject to the count of 36 bikes.
A registration deposit is set at $225 and is required from both riders and pillions. It will be applied to a spread of things including an event T shirt, our breakfast briefing in Devonport, a morning tea at Longford (Day 1), a group dinner at Tullah (Day 3), lunch at Riana on Day 4 and the Tiger Hunt Dinner on our last night in Hobart. Refunds will reduce in line with commitments made by the Club. No refunds will be made after January 28, unless the event is cancelled.
Trip Notes will be issued after registration. They give the full itinerary with everything you need to book ahead. Hunters are urged to make Spirit bookings, at the least, promptly after registration – TT Lines have a sympathetic refund policy and will waive cancellation and amendment fees if the unthinkable eventuates with Covid.
A contact list will be distributed within the group to assist interaction and sharing initiatives. The default is that you are on the list...please advise promptly if you want your email or mobile withheld as the list will go out in the first communication.
A Waitlist will be created should demand exceed places.
