Tuesday morning walk: Murray River - Howlong: 7 km grade 2
Meet at the roadside turn out at Horseshoe Lagoon, Padman Drive (Riverina Hwy), West Albury at 8.30am. Carpooling will be arranged here. For those meeting at Howlong, please be at Memorial Park at 9am. You need to let me know if you are wanting to do this.
This is an easy walk, mostly on track. As there is some off track with ankle high grass I would not recommend bringing dogs, there are cattle and we need to be mindful of the chance of snakes and please dress appropriately. I walked this event on Saturday and did not see any snakes.
Bring a morning tea snack.
No dogs. No toilets on this walk as they are out of action, public toilets are available in nearby Howlong.
Cafe stop afterwards at the half acre cafe in Howlong for those interested.
Any late cancellations please call me on 0456 100 183.
