TW Black Hill Loop ( morning)

Walk grade

Trail Walker

Description

An endearing feature of Black Hill CP is the lack of long, flat stretches of trail. Don't believe me? Then come on out.

While this is a reasonably short walk, it packs a punch. We will often be on wide fire trails but where possible, we will get out on to narrow, bush trails that will be rocky and steep. Bring your poles.

Please present yourself well hydrated. That means increasing your water intake for 24 hours leading up to the walk. And please carry some Scroggin that is easily accessible without removing your pack. A steady intake of calories may be helpful.

This will not be a fast walk. There will be opportunities for faster walkers to go ahead and stretch their legs. But as always, the pace of the group will be set by the slowest walker. And on the uphills, that may well be me. Leg strength will be more important than leg speed.

To get back to the cars requires some walking along the Torrens Linear Path and some back street footpaths. But we finish the walk back on trails. Hopefully, we will still be friends.

 

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.
