Please abide by any NSW or Vic COVID-19 health requirements. Members must provide their own sanitiser, gloves, wipes, masks, etc.  

Meet at the Kinross Woolshed at 8.30am. This is a modified version of part 3. It will be a round trip and NO car shuffling required.

About an 8km walk; firstly along a bike/walking path and then the grassy roadside of Table Top Rd for 4km. We then return via the 4km Hume & Hovell Track through the TSR.  There maybe some long grass alongside the track so long pants and/or gaiters would be advised.

Toilets available at the Kinross Woolshed and Thurgoona Plaza.

dogs OK  

Bring hat, water and a morning tea snack. Coffee and cake at Kinross Woolshed or Thurgoona. 

Next week will be a modified version of part 5 of the Hume & Hovell (Albury region).  We will drive part 4 as it is all along  roadsides and no guarantee the grass will be mown.

Any late cancellations please call me on 0456 100 183
