Tuesday morning walk - Hamilton Range: 7km grade 3

Hamilton Range is that extension of Nail Can Hill and the main ridge trail that goes from Centaur Rd, Lavington to Urana Rd at the Jindera Gap. Most of this trail is known as Bakes Trail.

A great walk, mostly downhill; with some short steep ascents.

Meet at 9am at the southern end of the Lavington Coles carpark on Urana Road. 

This is a car shuffle event. We take the Urana Road to the Jindera Gap, which is the start of the walk. We will have dropped cars to the walk's end on Centaur Rd (where the Nail Can Hill Ridge Trail starts).

If it's fine, there will be some wonderful snow views on the Victorian Alps.

No toilets are near this walk.

Dogs OK (but there will be kangaroos and wallabies around).

Bring morning tea snack. Coffee and cake afterwards in Lavi for those interested.

Any late cancellations please call me on 0456 100 183.
