WED WALK BBC SPONSORED 15 MARCH - HARD
THE PIMPLE AND TIDBINBILLA Leader: Andrew Cupit (0478 309 791, cupitandjen@outlook.com) We start the walk from Mountain Creek car park in Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve. From the car park, we cut through Lyre Bird trail and then climb steeply up a good footpad to Snowy Corner, continuing less steeply to Mt Tidbinbilla. We then head north towards Tidbinbilla Peak before heading north-west towards the Pimple. The last hundred metres requires some difficult rock scrambling. The view at the Pimple is good where I plan to have our lunch stop. We return to the main track and then continue on the circuit clockwise towards Tidbinbilla Peak and Johns Peak (with more views at each peak). We may cut down off track to Camels Hump fire trail (short cut) and then return via the fire trail to the carpark. Meeting point: Kambah Shops, opposite Caltex. Leaving 8:Cost: 70km ($10). Grading: 12 (Hard) Distance 16kms (less if we take the short cut). Total climb 1050m. Terrain: Tracks, footpads and fire trails, a little offtrack rock/boulder climbiWeather: Forecast for Canberra is 12 degrees minimum and 29 degrees max with 0% of a shower, but temperatures at Mt Tidbinbilla will be slightly lower. Bring: Dress for the weather, morning tea/lunch, water/drinks (2-3 litres recommended if hot) and poles if you are unsteady walking on uneven ground. Waterproof gear (pants & jacket) is also recommended if there is dew, because you will get wet from the bushes. Plus, it will provide more warmth if it is windy up on the range. Map: Tidbinbilla.
