Walk name/location

E2E17 – Cape Jervis to Cobbler Hill

Walk grade

End-to-End 17

Description

This is the first walk for the new End to End 17 group.

After you register for this walk you will receive an email inviting you to attend one of two introductory walks to be held before this walk.
The introductory walks will give you a chance to assess your fitness and to raise any queries you might have before you embark on the Heysen Trail.
Those people who successfully register for this walk will also be given priority access to register for the subsequent E2E17 walks, and an invitation to attend an information night at Exurbia.

Commencing at Cape Jervis, the coastal scenery along this region of the Fleurieu Peninsula is spectacular, and is a lovely walk along the first section of the Heysen Trail. The trail begins with a meander along sandy coastal tracks and exposed hillsides, with views of Kangaroo Island and the Southern Ocean over your right shoulder. On occasions, walkers are often rewarded with sightings of seals & dolphins. The trail progressively develops several undulations further along as you approach Blow Hole Beach within the Deep Creek Conservation Park. The walk ends with a much-anticipated hill climb for approx. 2km through native vegetation back to the vehicles.

A bus will transport us from the vehicles to the start of the walk.

Please note: the bus does NOT transport walkers from Adelaide to the walk.

After registration, walkers will be given directions to drive their vehicle to the meeting point, which will be at the END point of the day’s walk. The cars remain at the meeting location, and the bus transports the group from the cars to the walk start point. From there, the group walks back to the cars.

To participate in this walk, you need to pay for the bus whether you’re using it or not .

BIOSECURITY MEASURES – Please ensure you thoroughly clean your footwear, clothing, walking poles and other equipment before and after each walk to remove all seeds, dirt and other debris. Removed seeds should be bagged and disposed in a ‘to landfill’ garbage bin.
