DESCRIPTION:Are you a list ticker? I am! Our Parks and Conservation Serv
 ice list [66 trigs](https://www.parks.act.gov.au/things-to-do/trig-point

 the next several months I will plan and lead a number of trips to these 
 locations for our mutual list ticking enjoyment. I’ll even keep our re
 cords. Handsomely illuminated (digital) certificates will be issued at t
 he end of the series 😂. This hike begins at the gate on Pipeline Rd i
 n the Pierces Creek Pine Forest area. We walk up an old fire trail to ba
 g Hardy trig. Next is a nearly 2km leg along the crest of the Hardy Rang
 e on a deteriorating fire trail. From here, things get tricky. The next 
 2km is off-track through the scrub on the crest, before we turn NW and d
 escend to Cotter trig (always interesting when you descend to a trig, 10
 0vm descent over 1km). Finally, a 200vm plunge over 500m to pop out on P
 ipeline Rd. The hike is then all over bar the shouting, as from here itâ
 €™s a road bash of 7km twisting and turning above the Cotter River and t
 he gravity feed pipeline from Bendora Dam to your tap. The culverts dire
 cting water off the range are amazing, but once you’ve seen one or two
  there are several more to pass. Around 13km and 600+vm climb. Best suit
 ed for off-track walkers. A few geocaches for you to find for me.
