We will be walking along good paths, but high up, on this ‘edgy’ walk so we may catch the wind. We will also have glorious views too - weather permitting. Jackets and hats advisable. We start off in the woods where you need to be aware of tree roots, mud and overhanging branches. There are some steep uphill and downhill sections. I passed beautiful NT cattle and there were some sheep on my recce. I will recheck the route closer to the date to make any adjustments if needed. The pre-walk talk will inform you if I make any changes.
Walking boots and clothing (including waterproofs if wet weather is possible) are essential. Lunch and non-alcoholic drinks should be brought.
