As some of it is off track and largely exploratory for the leader, participants need to be experienced at off track walkin g, reasonably fit and suitably prepared to cope with whatever the terrai n might throw at us. The walk aims to find Cleatmore Cave, which I recal l visiting in the early 1990s. At this stage it is intended to be a ther e and back walk - starting and finishing on the Big Hole/Marble Arch wal king trail at the Berlang Camping Area. Depending on how the group is go ing we might include a circuit. We will visit the Big Hole on the way. I estimate the walk to be around 16km or so in distance, with over 500m o f cumulative climbing (assuming a there and back walk). We'll get our fe et wet crossing the Shoalhaven R at the start and end of the walk so bri ng your creek crossing shoes (which we'll hide in the bushes somewhere n ear). We may also get damp feet crossing boggy areas and encounter scrat chy nana scrub - so bring gloves and gaiters. There may also be leeches - so insect repellant and leech treatment (eg salt) are highly recommend ed! Bring something extra warm to wear. If we find the Shoalhaven R is n ot possible to cross safely we will revert to a plan B walk out of the C aptains Flat area. We'll meet early at Spotlight Queanbeyan and pool car s to the walk start from there. The drive to/from the start of the walk is around 1hr 15min or so each way.
