Wednesday Walk- BBC sponsored , M/H, 4 January

FISHING GAP TO MT DOMAIN AND SNOWY CORNER

GRADING. Distance is about 12 km. Total height gain is 833 metres. The walk is graded Medium Hard (11 on the BBC scale) due to some thick scrub in off-track areas.

Leader: Andrew Cupit (0478 309 791) cupitandjen@outlook.com

We start from Fishing Gap car park and walk up the fire trail to Fishing Gap (4km) and then head north up a steep incline to Mt Domain. We then continue north off track along the ridge line through thick scrub for around 4km to Snowy corner and the Mt Tidbinbilla track. Various views back towards Canberra, Cotter River valley and Tidbinbilla nature reserve along the way. There is 4kms off-track and 8kms on foot pads and fire trails. Long pants, gaiters and gloves (and patience) are recommended because there is a lot of thick scrub and some rocky areas. We start at Fishing Gap car park and end at Mountain Creek car park within Tidbinbilla. We will do a car shuffle in Tidbinbilla.
