End to End 12 Introductory Walk – Cleland Conservation Pk Northern Section

What to expect

From the start of the Wine shanty Track the walk skirts the Eastern edge of the park before heading westerly down Long Ridge Track.Morning tea will be had at Sugarloaf Hill taking in the views of Adelaide.We will then walk down the track that meets up with Chambers Gully Track.The final 3-4kms start with fairly gentle climb along Chambers Gully onto Bartrils Spur Track then we start the steeper climb up Kirrang &Gunbower&Nursery Loop tracks back to the cars.

The walk is comparable to your first walk on the Heysen Trail,although the final climb is probably steeper though not as long .

Hopefully it will allow everyone to gauge their fitness and enable you some time to build on it.

If the forecast temperature for Adelaide is equal or higher than 32C, walks are cancelled. For simplicity, this can be determined the night prior to the walk from the 7.00 pm ABC News Adelaide weather forecast, based upon the Bureau of Meteorology’s routine 4pm forecast.

Your Walk Leader will send an email to all walkers advising the walk is cancelled. We suggest you check your emails before leaving to join the walk. Even if the forecast temperature is later revised, the walk remains cancelled. In such a case walk fees will be refunded.

If unforeseen circumstances arise and you are no longer able to participate in the walk, please cancel your registration as soon as possible using the Manage Walk Registrations facility on your Account page.

Alternatively you can notify the office by 2.15pm on the last business day before the walk. Walk leaders do not have access to messages left on the answering machine after this time.
