MEDIUM/HARD WEDNESDAY WALK - SOUTH BLACK RANGE - (NPA)

No bookings required for joint club Wednesday Walks

This Medium to Hard graded walk will be led by Philip Gatenby (contact philip.gatenby@gmail.com or 0401 415 446) for the National Parks Association.

The walk starts on the North Black Range fire trail, is partly exploratory and mainly off-track in Tallaganda National Park. We take a meandering route, initially to the north-east, through forests and swamps, later visiting South Black Range Trig, which is perched on top of a large granite boulder. Much of the area was burnt in 2019 so expect thick patches of regrowth.
Total distance of about 15 km and a climb of 500 m. Suitable for experienced off-track walkers.

The planned walk may be changed if Tuesday's rain extends well into Wednesday.

Meet: Spotlight Queanbeyan car park in time to leave by 8 am
Drive: 74 km, $9 per person
Map: Bombay 1:25,000
Weather: forecast for nearby Forbes Creek on Wednesday is possible morning shower, mostly sunny afternoon, 2-11 degrees

Those doing their first Wednesday Walk must contact the leader to discuss the level of difficulty of the walk.
