CANCELLED: Adelaide100 City-Norton Summit

Sun 28 Aug 2022

This event has been cancelled (In light of the recent tragic events that occurred in Morialta Park this morning, I have decided to postpone tomorrows walk. Our walk is to follow the Adelaide100 as the trail passes through Morialta, via Deep View Lookout. I have been attempting to establish if the park will remain closed for police investigations, in particular the Deep View Lookout area. Unfortunately I am not aware of the parks status and we may not know until tomorrow. I would like to avoid being given a diversion by the authorities, that will have us back track around the park upon our arrival at the lookout. This day will be long enough without risking the inconvenience of any additional kms, and also resulting in not being the true Adelaide100 route. This decision has not come easy and I apologise for the late notice and any inconvenience I will reschedule this walk for Sunday the 18th September and hope you can be available.)

Walk name/location
CANCELLED: Adelaide100 City-Norton Summit
Walk grade
Trail Walker
Description

Following the section of the 'Adelaide100' from Adelaide City to Norton Summit, we will be following the River Torrens Linear Park until we link up several streets to enter and climb up Black Hill, then across and into Morialta, and finally onto Norton Summit.

This is expected to be a demanding day out, and due to the distance, a reasonable walking speed will be required to have us finish before it gets dark.

It is a walk for those who are capable of maintaining a good pace with minimal breaks, and who are able to cover the distance. Also for those who want to undertake the entire 'Adelaide100' circuit.

If you have not recently walked further than 30km in one outing, please do not start with this walk.
