M/H Wed Walk: Mount Tennent - Bushfold Flat Loop with a shorter option

**No bookings needed for Wednesday Walks** Starting out from the Namadgi Visitor's Centre, we'll follow the Australian Alps Walking Track until we reach and follow the new Mt Tennent summit track. After a stop at the summit we'll descend via the Mt Tennent Firetrail and then head north along the Bushfold Flat Firetrail, pausing at Bushfold Flat hut for lunch along the way. This is a less frequented section of the walk so we can expect to encounter birds, wallabies and other native wildlife. Our route then loops back around to the Australian Alps Walking Track and back to the visitor's centre. Distance 21 km. Climb: 1,000m. For those looking for a sightly shorter walk, a subgroup led by Deborah Gibson will veer off the Mt Tennent summit track to bypass the last section of the climb. This will reduce the overall length of the walk to 17.5km, and the overall climb to approx. 830m, while still providing access to spectacular views across to Canberra. The two groups will rejoin at Bushfold Flats for lunch and the final leg of the walk. Meet at Kambah Shops, cnr of Marconi Cres and Drakeford Dr (opposite the petrol Station), at 8:20am for an 8:30am departure. For those undertaking their first Wednesday medium or hard walk, please contact Luisa Dal Molin beforehand to assess suitability.
