Yanununbeyan Wander
Thu 03rd Nov 2022
Walk, Training
I'm planning on a moderate level and distance (13km) of walking in the Yanununbeyan National Park outside of Queanbeyan. I'm hoping to see some orchids in flower, the Queanbeyan river flowing fast, and perhaps a gorge and a stone trig. The walk will be a mix of track and off-track. There may be some climbing - say up to 150m in one go and 200m cumulative. The ground will most probably be boggy and there might be snakes, so gaiters, sturdy boots and scrub gloves please.
The long range forecast for the day is 50-75% chance of 0-1mm of rain which could well change. I'll be working off the ACT Rogaine Association's rogaine map for an event it ran back in November 2020. This walk is a good opportunity for people who want to practise their map/compass navigation and get some rogaining tips ahead of the next rogaine event on 5 November. I'll provide a pdf of the map for participants to print out.
We'll meet at Spotlight Carpark in Queanbeyan, and car pool to the starting off point.
