The loop route connects the northern section of the Rob Roy Nature Reserve with the south/wester n side. Starting in the north, we will head along foot pads and off trai l south west along various gullies and spurs until we join the fire trai l leading to Big Monks. From Big Monks we continue along the various kno lls and spurs to the south before veering north west followed by a very steep ascent off-trail along a spur to meet up with the fire trail and f oot pad that leads to Mt Rob Roy. From Mt Rob Roy we head north along th e fire trail before heading to the north west off trail through the wood land forest following a series of spurs and gullies and with one last cl imb to take in the views of the reserve and back to the start. The walk will be predominately off-trail, criss-crossing the undulating landscape with some very steep sections and rocky/grassy slopes that are slippery and/or unstable under foot with varying thickness of vegetation from op en grasslands to moderate-thick scrub. Walking pole(s) and gloves might be useful at times and gaiters a must to protect legs. Hike fit: The lin ear distance of (15 km) with an adjustment for elevation gain of (950m) makes this equivalent to a “24.5km” hike. Given the nature of the te rrain (surface, vegetation, steepness) and the length/elevation gain/los s the hike is likely to be “very strenuous”, take approximately “6 .5hrs” to complete and best suited for walkers with “a high level of fitness”, whom are interested in nature connection and are “comfort able off track” and in the last 3 months have hiked regularly and comp leted successfully at least one hike equivalent to a club grading of “ M”/”M”. Nature Connection: Please note this walk will involve deli berate periods of quiet, attentive, and reflective mindful walking to fo ster a more immersive experience of and deeper connection with the count ry we will be walking in.
