Tuesday morning walk - Hume & Hovell Pts 4&5: 8km grade 2/3

Due to COVID-19 health requirements, members must provide their own sanitisers, gloves, wipes, masks, etc.  If car pooling is required please contact the event co-ordinator.

Members and guests who reside in Victoria will need a border crossing permit, if required.

Normal social distancing rules will apply. If 1.5m cannot be maintained then a mask needs to be worn; particularly if car pooling is used. This is a car pooling event.

Starting at the Kinross Woolshed at 8am. The first stage of 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.  Difficult to walk these at this time of the year due to the long grass.

When we get to Plunkett Road off Bowna Road we park the cars and walk a 7 km H&H track that takes us past Pleasure Point andf 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 8am). We will work out car pooling here

dogs OK  

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.
