** Please Note: This registration covers the first 5 days of walking from Inman Valley to Cobbler Hill. There is a separate registration for E2E-1’s last walk: Cobbler Hill to Cape Jervis and celebration dinner. **
This week is brought to you by the letter ‘C’.
Sun.18th: Some initial road walking gets us to Second Valley Forest coming out at Robinson Hill. Then we follow quiet country roads in Keen Road and Tugwell Road before some cross country and track walking to finish at Waitpinga Road.
Mon.19th: A mixture of scrub and road walking gets us to the coast at Kings Beach. We follow along the dramatic clifftops through Newland Head Conservation Park – probably the most picturesque and photographed section of the whole trail. The walk concludes at Waitpinga Beach.
Tue.20th: The first of our beach walks take us along Waitpinga Beach, then on to Parsons Beach. More coastal walking before we enter Balquhidder and head inland before finishing with some road walking.
Wed.21st: Rest Day. Optional activity helping Friends of Newland Head C.P. in the morning. Other activities To Be Advised.
Thu.22nd: We head across paddocks towards the coast where we will tackle the steepest descent on the Trail down to Tunkalilla Beach (it is no where near the 4km monster it used to be). At Boat Harbor Beach we enter the Deep Creek Conservation Park and its characteristic dense bushland before opening out on the ridge near Tapanappa Campground for far-reaching views.
Fri.23rd: A spectacular walk through Deep Creek Conservation Park includes the waterfall with dense bushland and stunning coastal views. Lots of ups and downs today all the way to Cobbler Hill.
NOTE – If you wish to walk 1, 2, 3 or 4 days, please contact the FOHT office to register for those days. The online registering system will only allow you to register for all 5 walking days.
