Tuesday morning walk - CANCELLED
Please abide by any NSW or Vic COVID-19 health requirements. Members must provide their own sanitisers, gloves, wipes, masks, etc. This will be a car pooling and car shuffling event.
Meet at the Kinross Woolshed at 8.30am. Today's event will start with a 20km drive from Kinross Woolshed to Bowna Road. We will follow pt3 of Albury's Hume & Hovell for 4km, then follow the whole 11km of pt4, then the first 4km of pt 5. All of these stages follow the Hume & Hovell track adjacent to local roads and are difficult to walk due to the long grass and closeness to the road in many places.
We will work out car pooling/shuffling arrangements before we all head off.
When we get to Plunkett Road off Bowna Road we park the cars, move some cars to the other end and walk a 7 km H&H track that takes us past Pleasure Point and along the lake's edge to Wymah Rd near the Great Aussie Holiday Park.
Toilets only available at the Kinross Woolshed (but not open at 8.30am) and Thurgoona Plaza.
dogs OK but dog owners please respect the cars of other drivers.
There may be overhanging long grass on the track, so dress appropriately please.
Bring hat, water and a morning tea snack. Coffee and cake at Thurgoona.
Any late cancellations please call me on 0456 100 183
