DESCRIPTION:**No bookings required for joint club Wednesday Walks** Lead
 er: Dave Abela (0482 802 050, tangodancing4me@gmail.com) for BBC. Starti
 ng from close to Stromlo on Urriara Road, we will start the walk on fire
  trails through Bluetts Nature Reserve, which is a charming, little-know
 n area of scrub and protected forest. We’ll first make our way towards
  Springybark Hill for really nice views across the western part of Canbe
 rra. We then continue off track for a while through the open forest. Onc
 e out of Bluetts, we pick up the fire trail again and head down to the l
 ower Molonglo valley to follow the river for a few kilometres. We cross 
 over to the other side of the river via Butters Bridge and end up on the
  edge of the new suburb of Whitlam, probably having our lunch somewhere 
 above the river in Namarag Park. From here, we will also have a splendid
  view of the new bridge under construction at Coppins Crossing. This is 
 nearing completion and will be Canberra’s largest bridge and also Aust
 ralia’s largest “weathered steel” bridge. After lunch we head into
  the suburb of Denman Prospect on a few cycleways and footpaths, then ma
 ke our way back into Bluetts Nature Reserve to complete a loop of 12kms 
 back to our cars. This is generally an easy walk, on a large variety of 
 surfaces including fire trails, single track, loose rock, off track, foo
 tpaths and cycleways. The hills are gentle and the off track section is 
 quite open and easy going. I recommend you bring your gaiters and you mi
 ght want to bring your walking poles for some of the rough and loose roc
 k sections. Weather for next Wednesday: A forecast maximum of 25C. A sho
 wer or two. Those doing their first Wednesday Walk, and those who are no
 t members of the CBC, BBC or NPA, must contact the leader to discuss the
  level of difficulty of the walk.
