"Whilst camping out on the conservation site of natural beauty of Maria Island we decided to embark on one of the may walks available, we went with the Bishop And Clerk hike as we needed to be back in time to catch the boat. Unfortunately the views were hidden by the cloud. Still a cool experience non the less, very muggy and humid with lots of mozzy bites! " — Nicolefrances • Jan 17, 2023

"Very hard climb, just goes up and up and up. Fairly good marking on the track up to the trig point. However, the trig point is not the summit and there doesn't seem to be a track there. The bushes on the plateau are very sharp and scratchy and my legs bled everywhere - gaiters highly recommended. It was very slow going to get to the true summit. The way back down was slippery and we fall over a lot, probably wouldn't be great in the rain. Total time was 8 hours and 50 minutes. Still loads of fun and would recommend, just come prepared!

"The route is very clearly marked and the path is easy to follow. I was surprised at the relative ease of this Abel (compared to others), especially as it's the second-highest mountain in Tassie. It took us just under an hour, round trip, at a pretty good pace. " — GabrielleK • Jan 25, 2022

"We couldn't see any markers so just went straight towards the peak. After some extensive bush-bashing we ended up off course but we kept climbing, trying to correct our course. After getting up onto the ridgeline we decided to head back as it was starting to get dark. I had read online that there was quite a bit of scree and rock-hopping. Turns out it's basically 100% scree, the mountain is just a pile of loose rocks. In hindsight, this was all pretty stupid. Oh well, gotta get lost sometimes to keep the excitement up!

"Got severely sunburnt on my back ascending Cradle! Met so many incredible people and together we all summited together. What began as a group of strangers ended as a group of friends. The views were phenomenal, never seen such nice weather for the hike before. " — annekerichards • Jan 1, 2022
