Description

This is a relatively easy, and mostly flat walk, but at 30km it is long! This walk is good preparation for any walker tackling next month's walk with E2E14 from Mayo Gorge to Moralana Scenic Drive (32km).

We begin at McLaren Vale using the Flat to Vale Trail and Willunga Basin Trail heading towards McLaren Flat and further east, stopping for morning tea with a view. We remain on the gently undulating Willunga Basin Trail all the way into Willunga having an appropriate lunch break along the way. If we are making good time, we'll stop at a High Street cafe for afternoon tea otherwise have our own in the Jubilee Rose Garden. Then it's the final 8km hike back to Mclaren Vale along the very flat Shiraz Trail.

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.
