Mt Lofty To The Barossa
2022-08-29 - 2022-09-04
An opportunity for walkers to experience another 6 memorable sections of the Heysen Trail in a “single hit” from where last year’s Fleurieu to Mt Lofty walk finished in the Cleland Conservation Park just below the summit of Mt Lofty to continue the journey north through more of the picturesque countryside of the Adelaide Hills into the southern reaches of the Barossa Valley finishing a little north of Tanunda. The walks wend there way through numerous delightful Conservation Parks and State Forest areas, along undulating back roads, and past vineyards and grazing lands with a few challenging hills thrown in for everyone’s pleasure.

Another full week of walking on the Trail designed to enable walkers especially those from beyond Adelaide, whether from intrastate or interstate, the opportunity to complete these beautiful sections in a single block rather than the normal schedule of an End to End group.

Those walkers who undertook one or both the Fleurieu to Mt Lofty walk in 2021 or the South Coast walk in 2020 will be offered an Early Registration Link to register for the weeks walking on Wednesday 20th July, two weeks prior to the public opening of Registrations on Wednesday 3rd August.

Please note this an Extended Walk for people wanting to do the entire week of walking and not those wishing to do selected day walks.

REGISTRATION REQUIRES PAYMENT OF THE FULL EVENT FEE which covers all walk fees and bus costs. To register for these walks you must be a member of the Friends of the Heysen Trail.

The walk leaders are the same as for the 2 previous years weeks of walking.. All are currently leading End to End groups and have each completed the trail on one or more occasions.

For each walk, walkers will need to drive themselves to the end location for the walk, from where a bus will take them to the start of the walk. It should be noted the meeting location for each of the walks is generally around an hour’s drive or less from Adelaide. Those coming from interstate or intrastate locations may choose stay in Adelaide for the first 3 walks and then in the Barossa for the second 3 walks.

Except for the last walk, all these walks are challenging, especially the first 3 walks which include a number of steep climbs and tricky descents, so please ensure you come well and truly physically prepared for a tough though rewarding week of walking on the Heysen Trail.

Given the continued and rising number of Covid cases we are asking all walkers TO COMPLETE A RA TEST in the 24 HOURS prior to the start of the walks on Monday 29th September.

Should you have any questions about the walk please feel free to contact John Babister at: jpbabister@internode.on.net or on 0409616270

Horsnell Gully /Giles CP (Grade 3)
2022-09-03
Please note: This is not an easy Trail Starter Hike. Read below for all details before you book on this hike.

We will hike into Horsnell Gully and Giles Conservation Park to explore the Giles Ruins and look out for koalas along the way. This is an out and back hike of 9km. We will follow part of the Heysen Trail.

Meet at 8.15am for briefing, 8.30am start.

This is classified as a Grade 3, Moderate hike. According to the walking track grading system, this means it is suitable for most ages and fitness levels. Tracks may have short steep hill sections, a rough surface and many steps.

On this hike there are 2 major up sections, along with 2 major down sections as well as some undulations, a small creek crossing (no wet feet though), some fire track sections and narrow rocky path sections.

We should complete the hike in 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Including time for morning tea at the Giles Ruins. Bring something to eat and drink for your morning tea. No facilities are accessible on this hike.

As we will be hiking in the first week of Spring, the weather can be unpredictable so please be prepared for anything, including warmer weather. Always bring with you at least 2-3 litres of water, there is no access to water during this hike.

Potential hazards: Snakes are more active during Spring, hence a good idea to have in your first aid kit a compression bandage/snake bandage. Warm weather – bring plenty of water, wear a sun hat, sunscreen and clothing layers so you can cool down as needed. Slippery/Rocky paths – be careful with your footing and wear appropriate shoes to ensure good grip.

Group Hiking etiquette – we hike single file when on a narrow trail in order to be careful of the delicate flora that often borders trails, we try to designate a “tail ender” who stays at the back of the group in order to make sure nobody gets lost or hurt without anyone knowing, we may have to slow down or speed up to create a median speed that is bearable for everyone, we adhere to “leave no trace” principles (take out what you bring in, including toilet paper), be courteous of others, do not go ahead of the nominated leader, be aware of who is hiking in front of and behind you, if you cannot see anyone behind you, stop and wait for them to catch up, this ensures everyone is within sight of each other.

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.

Lobethal Bushland Reserve
2022-09-25
Pleasant circular walk in Lobethal Bushland Park just outside of Lobethal. The trails in the park were through heritage-listed bush but the park was burnt out in the December 2019 Adelaide Hills bush fire. Through the care of passionate volunteers, the park has been remarked and is showing signs of incredible regrowth. There are also exciting signs that kangaroos, echidnas and bird life are returning. We will walk through trails which have been burnt, but there are wonderful signs of regrowth on some of the trees and also the undergrowth. Slopes are mostly gradual. A good walk for new walkers and families, with toilets and a picnic/bbq area at walk completion.

Cape Jervis/ Cobbler Hill

Commencing at Cape Jervis, the coastal scenery along this region of the Fleurieu Peninsula is second to none, and is a lovely walk along the first section of the Heysen Trail. The trail begins with a meander along sandy coastal tracks and exposed hillsides, with views of Kangaroo Island and the dynamic Southern Ocean over your right shoulder. Walkers are often rewarded with sightings of seals & dolphins. The trail gradually develops into several undulations further along as you approach Blow Hole Beach within the Deep Creek Conservation Park. The walk ends after a much-anticipated hill climb for approx. 2km through native vegetation back to the vehicles.

This walk is a great introductory walk for those who are interested in undertaking the entire Heysen Trail, those who want to catch up a section, anyone wanting to relive this section of the Fleurieu Peninsula.

A bus will transport us from the vehicles to the start of the walk.

Please note: the bus does NOT transport walkers from Adelaide to the walk.
