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.

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.
