Three Ramblers headed out from Bedwell Lake trailhead towards mount Septimus. We drove through torrential rain from Victoria, feeling pretty pessimistic about the forecast. However, the forecast was true to its word, and we departed the trailhead at 12:30 with clear sky’s. We began to encounter snow just prior to Baby Bedwell. It was patchy and generally supportive, but we had to be extra careful getting on and off staircases, crossing small streams, etc. the snow disappeared again as we crested and started descending into Bedwell Lake, but we reentered it again prior to arriving at the Bedwell Lake campsite at 3:30.
