3 Up 3 Down - Mt Ainslie

We will approach the summit of Mt Ainslie, 3 different ways ( 3 up & 3 down), The first approach uphill requires a steady effort, the second approach is a bit shorter, but the terrain is rougher underfoot and the last / final approach from the back of the quarry requires the most effort, with a short and sharp uphill section. Downhill, the pace will be slow as some parts are rocky, gravelly underfoot and can be slippery. All formed trails and bush tracks, except for one short uphill section passing through Casuarina trees, to an unnamed knoll. Approx 4 1/2 hours including breaks for morning tea, light lunch/ extra snack, and catching our breath!
