Walk The Yorke Gym Beach to Marion Bay

This event has passed.

What to expect

Car shuttles will be involved over the two days. If you are not prepared to assist with car shuffling and pooling please don’t register as there is no longer a 12 seater bus available and the larger busses are too expensive.

There is accommodation available in a two bedroom apartment, due to one hiker withdrawing. If you are interested please message me on 0424752953.

If you have a park pass please bring it as we will need it for the vehicles.

I have switched the hikes around to make it easier for car pooling. We will have to leave cars at Pondalowie either Saturday night or do an early car shuffle Sunday morning. I’m waiting to hear back from the National Park office to if there are entry/exit time restrictions. Timings may need to be changed if we have restrictions.

Day one: Pondalowie to Marion Bay (22 km)

Day two: Gym Beach to Pondalowie (17.7km)

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.

Registration terms and conditions

All walks are subject to you wearing appropriate clothing. Prime considerations are warmth and weather protection. Your safety and the safety of the walking group can be jeopardised by you wearing inappropriate clothing. In an emergency situation it can take hours to evacuate a sick or injured walker. Leaders may not accept people for a walk who have not come appropriately dressed or prepared.

View details of appropriate clothing.

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. If your Walk Leader has provided their mobile phone number you may be able to contact them prior to the walk (subject to phone service availability).

You can apply for a refund of monies paid if you withdraw from the walk on the website or notify the Office before the close of walk registrations.
