This walk aims to provide a little adventure while avoiding the worst of the summer heat. We will have an early start and aim to finish in time for people to be back for an afternoon at home. The walk starts from Woods Reserve and follows a creek up to the Corin Rd before joining a walking track to Devils Gap. We then walk off-track in a northern loop that includes rock slabs with excellent views of the Tidbinbilla valley and two nice saddles along the higher ridgeline. After descending to Devils Gap once more, the southern "loop" climbs up a narrow track to the summit of Hill 1172 and back down again. Some interesting rocks and spectacular views down the Corin valley and up the Tidbinbinbilla valley are the rewards for this second loop but it is steep in parts. The walk finishes with the transition back down to Woods Reserve. If people want to, we can paddle in Gibraltar Creek before heading back.

Bring gaiters, sunglasses and safety glasses, water, and sufficient food for a couple of snack stops.

Meet at Lanyon Marketplace behind McDonald's to leave at 7:15am.
