Medium/Hard Wednesday Walk - 4 Feb - Circuit via Sundial Rock (BBC)

No bookings required for joint club Wednesday Walks

This Medium to Hard graded walk will be led by Prue Deacon (6286 1573, 0487 388 959 (SMS), prue.deacon@ozemail.com.au) on behalf of the Brindabella Bushwalking Club.

From the Honeysuckle Creek camping ground we walk up a road and footpad to the Sundial Rock (GR 791 593). We follow a creek, roughly south, to a swampy area where several creeks converge. We continue roughly south up another creek to a saddle and have lunch in a pretty area with big boulders. After climbing through boulders to peak 1203, we descend to cascades on the main creek (with time for a paddle), return to the Sundial Rock and back to the cars.

The walk is mostly off-track. The scrub is not too bad but long pants and/or gaiters are recommended. Also sunscreen, sunglasses and plenty of water. It will get hot, so I will aim for a slow pace, especially for the return section.

BBC level: Medium (8-9)

Those doing their first Wednesday Walk, and those who are not members of the CBC, BBC or NPA, must contact the leader to discuss the level of difficulty of the walk.
