THIS IS RATED A MODERATE HIKE

Please arrive 8.45am for 9am start.  There is a carpark at the Public Hall.  Please park here and look for the Big Heart flag.  A toilet is located here.

This hike is not a traditional “bushwalk” – we cover farmyards, quiet country roads, some bitumen and some single track.  Comfortable worn in boots for harder surfaces are a must.

Colleen will be your walk leader and will be here to meet you.

Our leaders carry group first aid kits, emergency communication devices and are experienced bushwalking leaders.

We will walk for up to 6 hours on moderately challenging trails approx 19.5km and enjoy homebaked Anzac Biscuits and afternoon tea after our walk.

Due to the variability of the weather, the following items will be needed:

– a daypack (25-35 litre) backpack

– 2 litres of water minimum

– sun protection (hat, sunnies, suncream) or wet weather gear (we will check the forecast and remind you all what to expect!)

– blister kit/personal medication

– high energy snacks/fruit and LUNCH

– boots/comfortable walking shoes

– warm clothing for after the walk (jumper/jacket)

– walking poles (optional)

Please ensure you have the minimum gear required as no refunds are possible after booking. If you arrive underprepared without wet weather clothing or the gear listed above, our Leaders have the right to ask you not to walk with us for safety reasons if you do not have the weather appropriate gear with you.

Help us to support our partner charity MOSH by making a donation either at time of booking or on the day thank you 🙂 For more information on MOSH head to www.moshaustralia.org.au

Our walks are all about fun, fitness and friendship – not a personal training session. If we can’t walk and talk at the same time we are walking too fast! And we never leave anyone behind.

If the weather forecast is for extreme weather or a fire ban is issue for the Adelaide Hills/Mt Lofty Ranges, this walk will be cancelled the day before and fully refunded.

If you have any questions, you can call Lisa Murphy with any questions on 0418 802 361.

Minimum age requirement is 15 years old as long they are accompanied by a supervising adult – please check with Lisa if unsure.
