Description

Theme for the weekend: We will have a Scottish theme this weekend, as we will be walking through Greenock, which some call the Little Scotland of the Barossa.

A couple of long walks this weekend.

Sat.27 Sep: Lots of undulating farmland walking today, some through tall, ripening crops but intermingled with more backroads and some bitumen.

Sun.28 Sep: Starting in Kapunda, we travel the Mary McKillop Walk and other backroads before crossing more cropping and grazing land on the way to Greenock. A quite noticeable change in landuse to vineyards occurs as we enter the Barossa Valley. Pleasant vistas and changing seasonal colours make this a pretty walk.

Another value-added experience today: We will meet E2E7 on the trail today for a joint celebration (over lunch?).
