3 Up 3 Down - Mt Majura

In this activity, we will approach the summit of Mt Majura, 3 different ways ( 3 up & 3 down). There is a little bit of crossover of trails throughout the morning. The first approach uphill requires a steady effort and involves a short, sharp and very steep segment uphill on a narrow footpad. The second approach uphill is rougher and involves an off track segment passing through Casuarina trees and over fallen timber from the northern end. The final approach involves part of the zig zag section of the Casuarina trail and the final leg of the ascent is off track near a gully. This walk is fairly demanding in the uphill segments, also downhill and steady footing is required. Some parts are rocky, gravelly and can be slippery underfoot. Poles are handy for the downhill. It is likely to take approx 4 1/2 hours including breaks for morning tea, light lunch/ extra snack, and catching our breath!
