Description

WEEKEND BASED IN QUORN

Sat -We start the day with a 2;5km or 4km {if wet} walk back in through private property to rejoin the trail back up on the ridgeline .The surrounding countryside is truly spectacular with views of Mt Brown enticing the walker onwards .With such scenery ones mind is distracted from the 600mtrs plus of elevation we climb to get to the top.A quick morning tea will be taken at Catninga shed to refuel before the final ascent.Once at the top we will break again for a proper morn tea giving walkers the time to enjoy what Mt Brown{964mtrs} has to offer.A long descent leads us down to Waukarie Creek and eventually to Pichi Richi Pass where our cars are .Another tough day on the trail but well worth it .IF YOU ARE INJURED OR UNWELL PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS WALK .

Sun-A steady climb to the start of the day takes walkers to the top of the range and views over Pichi Richi Pass.After following the ridgeline for a few kms the trail descends into the Pass again .We then follow the Historic Pichi Richi Railway Line passing remnants of deserted sidings and settlements.DO NOT WALK ON THE TRACKS OR BRIDGES .

These walks are for those wishing to walk some or all of the Heysen Trail. There are approximately sixty day walks involved, spread over six years. The southern walks, from Cape Jervis to Kapunda, are held on one Sunday per month during the walk season. Due to the greater travelling distances involved, from Kapunda northwards, the walk is held over a weekend.

Appropriate Clothing

All walks are subject to you wearing appropriate clothing. Prime considerations are warmth and weather protection. Your safety and the safety of the walking group can be jeopardised by you wearing inappropriate clothing. In an emergency situation it can take hours to evacuate a sick or injured walker. Leaders may not accept people for a walk who have not come appropriately dressed or prepared.

In some circumstances, the Walk Leader may decide to amend, modify or shorten a scheduled walk. If a single-day End-to-End walk is cancelled, walk fees will be refunded. Refunds do not apply to weekend-away walks and multi-day events.

Severe Weather Policy

Be aware that walks are automatically cancelled when the forecast weather for the day of the walk is for severe storms with damaging winds as per the 7pm ABC News on the day prior to the walk. Refer to abc.net.au/news/weather or bom.gov.au/sa.
