Description

So, we are now at the end of the Winter walking season. Your trail hardened and as fit as you have been all year. Let's finish this season with a bang.

We will meet at Measday's Lookout, and then make our way down to the valley floor. And then it is straight into the ascending till we are just short of the summit.

And then we will go back down.

And when we are neither up nor down,

We will turn around,

And head for the summit again.

But not all the way.

Expect 22k and enough vertical metres climbed to ensure that you sleep well that night. Pace will be moderate except on the steeper climbs (of which there are several) when you will walk at your own pace. We will wait for you.

You will finish the walk tired but exhilarated. So much so that you will want to rush home to book onto my next Cleland adventure on the following weekend.

Contact me on 0412228631 for further information, or if you are running late on the day.

Cheers.

 

 

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.
