DESCRIPTION:This walk is for club members only. The primary aim of this 
 walk is to complete the mapping out of a loop route in the southern sect
 ion of the Cuumbean Nature Reserve. We follow the Black Wallaby Loop Tra
 ck until we meet up with the Bradleys Creek Walk. We head NE along Bradl
 eys Creek Walk for a brief while with a side trip to take in the Googong
  Lookout before heading off-trail to enter the Cuumbean NR proper. We de
 scend a spur to the NW to Valley Creek and then follow the contours of V
 alley Creek crossing varies gullies and creeks and ascending and descend
 ing a number of spurs and knolls before a very steep climb to join the Q
 ueanbeyan River Trail. We have a brief respite from off-trail walking as
  we follow this trail to the South East prior to descending towards Vall
 ey Creek via various ridges, spurs and gullies. One last steep ascent to
  the SW, a ridge line and descend to the W to connect once again to Brad
 leys Creek Walk for our return to our start. The walk will be predominat
 ely off-trail, criss-crossing the undulating landscape with some steep t
 o very steep sections and rocky/grassy slopes and creek lines that are s
 lippery and/or unstable under foot with varying thickness of vegetation 
 from open woody grasslands to moderately thick scrub. Walking pole(s) an
 d gloves might be useful at times and gaiters and/or long pants a must t
 o protect legs. The linear distance of 13km with an elevation gain of 59
 0m makes this equivalent to an 18.9 km hike and will take approximately 
 6 hrs to complete. Given the nature of the terrain (surface, vegetation,
  steepness) and the length/elevation gain/loss the hike is likely to be 
 strenuous and best suited for walkers with a very good level of fitness,
  whom are confident off track and have hiked regularly during the past m
 onth and have completed successfully at least one club hike equivalent t
 o a grading of medium/medium.
