No bookings required for Wednesday Walks.

Starting from the Square Rock car park, we will walk up the groomed trail towards Square Rock but take the left branch to the Orroral Valley Lookout rather than continuing to Square Rock itself. The rest of the walk is off-piste. We will keep going over the lookout, and descend a steep slope in a south westerly direction to a creek. This part of the walk is hard going but it is studded with massive boulders that can be climbed for views down to Orroral Valley. After crossing thick scrub around the creek, the rest of the journey to McKeahnie Trig is pretty open up until the final ascent. After lunching at McKeahnie Trig we will then descend to the Corin Rd and complete a car shuffle back to the Square Rock car park.

This walk is tough in parts so bring gloves, gaiters, glasses and long pants. The weather should be excellent for walking but the scrub might be wet following rain. We should cover 10km in about 7 hours including stops, with an elevation gain of about 480m.

Total distance around 10km (CBC distance of 15km). Elevation gain of 480 metres. CBC grading M/R, BBC grading 10.

MAP: Corin Dam 1:25000.

MEETING TIME AND PLACE: Kambah Village shops (Marconi Cres, opposite petrol station). 7.50am ready for 8.00am departure.

DRIVING DISTANCE: 70km (suggesting $30 per car or $10 per passenger assuming three passengers). Because this is a Wednesday Walk, no bookings are required. Those doing their first Wednesday walk and also prospective walkers who are not members of either the NPA, BBC or CBC clubs must contact the leader to discuss the level of difficulty of the walk.
