Wedesday walk Medium CBC sponosed 12 February

Bookings not required for wed walks. SERENITY ROCKS - Medium Leader: JOHN DANARO danaro@bigpond.net.au We start at the Lowden Trig FT, which is some 7 km past Rossi in the Tallaganda State Forest, left on the Lowden Road, and continue for some 3 or so km, before entering into a foot/trail bike track towards Serenity Rocks. The Tallaganda forest can receive more rain than Canberra, so the track can be muddy at places, and there are some 5 or so creek crossings, so walking poles will assist with the crossings. The track is also rocky in places and there is a small amount of off-track walking. There are also quite a number of picturesque fern trees littered along the various creeks and track. There is also reasonable shade on the walk. Most of the climbing will be done in the cooler morning, and the expected return back at the cars should be at around 3.00pm. Suitability: this walk is suitable for those walkers (like me) that have overindulged at Christmas and are still in the process of shedding those extra weights and getting fit for the harder walks. Meet at the Spotlight carpark, right on the Kings Hwy, as you leave Queanbeyan for Bungendore, ready for a 8.30 am departure. Maps: Bendoura and Bombay 1: 25,000 Distance: around 14 km, with an altitude around or around 500m. Weather: Warm, but a fraction cooler than Canberra. Transport: around $12
