Fri 25 to Sun 27 Oct 2019

Details

Walk name/location
E2E Maintenance – Greenock to Huppatz Hut
Description

Carry out maintenance as part of our End to End Trail Maintenance program.

The event continues the work on this section that was commenced in October last year.

No previous experience is required - you don't have to be an expert handy person to help with these jobs.

The major work will be to install and upgrade stiles across recently installed fencing between Greenock & Kapunda. We will also be marking a minor reroute of the trail through the township of Kapunda.

Other jobs will include installing assist poles at a series of stiles along a road reserve between Gerkie & Webb Gaps.

It is expected that the work will be completed by early afternoon on Sunday. Volunteers able to attend on only some days are welcome.

The event will be based at Riverton. The Friends will be hiring a 4WD vehicle, but you will need transport to get to Greenock/Riverton.

Suggested accommodation options are the Riverton Caravan Park (bookings have been made for 2 cabins) or the Riverton Hotel. An accommodation subsidy for Friday and Saturday night and a fuel subsidy will be provided by the Friends.

The Coordinator will contact you via email with details of accommodation reservations, the meeting location and times for each day.

There will be a complimentary dinner arranged for Saturday night.
