This is a 10km grade 3 walk, mainly on track. Starting with a gentle climb on a track through farmland, we cross a couple of narrow creeks, then after entering the National Park, we begin a steep climb that brings us out on top of a ridge. Sometimes it's possible to get glimpses of the main Kosciusko Range from here. We follow this 4WD track which has washed away in a few places, so we'll be doing a bit of off-track walking to get around them. Quite a few ups and downs before we leave the park and begin a gentle descent through private property to where a vehicle/s has been left at Ross Lane. Not suitable for dogs as there are Maremma guard dogs at the start, National Park and private property.
Bring morning tea, lunch and thermos.
