Medium/Hard Wednesday Walk - Wed 18 Feb – White Horse Rocks, Hill 1462 and Punchbowl Creek Falls

No bookings required for joint club Wednesday Walks

This Medium to Hard graded walk will be led by (Andrew Cupit (0478309791). cupitandjen@outlook.com) on behalf of the Brindabella Bushwalking Club.

The walk starts near the old quarry car park on Corin Road (on left after Gibraltar Falls and just before Corin Forest ski area). We will walk south up the Smokers Gap fire trail till we reach the saddle where we will head west off-track towards hill 1462. We will explore a couple of rocky outcrops just north of hill 1462 and have morning tea. We will then head east back to the saddle and continue north-east off track to White Horse Rocks for lunch and great views. If there is time, we may explore the next hill to the east (hill1378). After lunch we will head north-west down towards Punchbowl Creek and the falls. We will then return to the car park on fire trails. The off-track section varies from open grassland to medium bush. Walkers are advised to have gaiters and gloves. This walk may be adjusted (i.e. shortened, due to the heat).

Distance: about 10km. Climb: 490m. BBC level: Medium (9). Canberra forecast is 16-30C. Rain. Low chance of showers (0-1mm). Light winds west to north-westerly 20-30km/h during the morning

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.
