Tuesday morning walk - Hume & Hovell pts 4 & 5; 8km grade 2
This will be a car pooling and car shuffling event.
Meet at the Kinross Woolshed at 9am. The event will start with a 20km drive from Kinross Woolshed to Bowna Road. This involves a 4km drive of pt3 of Albury's Hume & Hovell track; then drive the whole 11km of pt4; then drive 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 from the Kinross Woolshed.
When we get to Plunkett Road off Bowna Road we park some cars, shuffle some cars to the other end and walk a 7 km H&H track that takes us past Pleasure Point and 1km along the lake's edge to Wymah Rd near the Great Aussie Holiday Park.
Toilets only available at the Kinross Woolshed (normally open after 10am but closed now during renovations) 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.
Coffee and cake at Thurgoona.
Any late cancellations please call me on 0456 100 183
