Wednesday walk BBC sponsored E/M - 21 May

**Bookings not required for Wed walks.** BYWONG/WAMBOIN GREENWAYS – 10km Leader: Kathy Handel (ph 0447289638), khandel@bigpond.net.au Greenways are conservation corridors between private properties. They are public reserves for non-motorised traffic (mainly walkers and horse riders) and have pockets of lovely native forest. This walk is a circuit that starts and finishes at the Bywong Community Hall, linking several greenways and with one section of road. It will be a mixture of foot pad, off-track in forest, open ground and road. The highest point is Millpost Hill, which has 360 degree views from the Lake George escarpment to the Brindabellas. Millpost Hill is 900m high (3 degrees colder than Canberra) and exposed to the wind. Climb: 200m. Map: Sutton. Meet at Bywong Community Hall, 67 Birriwa Rd, Bywong at 9.00am. Directions: From the north end of Canberra, drive up the Federal Highway, turn right into Macs Reef Rd, turn right into Birriwa Rd (after 7.8km) and leave the cars at the Bywong Community Hall on Les Reardon Reserve. Canberra weather forecast: 2 to 17 degrees, shower or two (60% chance of 0-7mm rain). Canberra rain often misses this area, so check the BOM rain map.
