SUMMARY:TW Cleland
DESCRIPTION:Those of you that have walked with me before know that I love hills. I might be slower climbing them these days (aging they say) but I still love them. So\, this walk in Cleland has 2 lengthy climbs\, 2 descents (though not in that order) and a lot of undulations in between. Some road walking involved.\n\n22k long and with more than a hand full of vertical metres\, it makes for a good training walk for end to enders. Come join me (unless you are a member of E2E15 or E2E17 as you will be required to be elsewhere).\n\nThis walk may be shortened on the day if the weather decided not to cooperate.\n\nBIOSECURITY 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.
