Nuggett Rd to Mt Crawford

Walking from The Nugget Road to Mount Crawford on the Heysen Trail.

What to expect

The walk will start from where the Trail crosses Nuggett Rd,our finishing point for last year.Depending upon how close the bus can get to the trail there may be a walk in of around 1-1.5 klms

After a few kilometres of road walking the trail enters the spectacular Warren Con Park, climbing steadily through dense bushland.Sections of open grazing land follow offering panoramic views before heading back into the forest and the return to the cars.

This is a quite long though picturesque and diverse walk to start the season.

These walks are for those wishing to walk some or all of the Heysen Trail. There are approximately sixty day walks involved, spread over six years. The southern walks, from Cape Jervis to Kapunda, are held on one Sunday per month during the walk season. Due to the greater travelling distances involved, from Kapunda northwards, the walk is held over a weekend.

These arrangements make it easy to walk the entire trail because the Friends of Heysen Trail work out many of the logistics.

These walks are reasonably demanding and for walkers who have walked regularly in various terrain. They have a walking time of about 5 to 6 hours and will require a high degree of physical fitness.

Refer to the End-to-End Walks page for more detailed information.

Requirements
