Medium-Hard Wednesday Walk - 1 July - Over Bullen Range To Kambah Pool (BBC)

No bookings required for joint club Wednesday Walks

Leader: Leigh Hermann (0417 147 260, hermannsuk@hotmail.com) for BBC

Due to the forecast rain, this week's Medium/Hard walk is easier than usual and closer to home. If the rain is heavy, this walk will be cancelled.

From the Tidbinbilla Tracking Station we climb a lightly wooded spur to reach the Bullen Range Fire Trail. A little further north we take a similar steepish spur east, dropping down to a knoll overlooking Kambah Pool. We do not go down to river level but stay high and follow the river north for good views. After crossing a couple of steep gullies we then reach a fire trail that takes us back over the range and a return to the cars. Nice, unspoilt forest, mostly off-track walking.

Distance: 8 km. Climb: 460m. BBC Rating of Medium (8). You may consider bringing poles for the steeper sections, also gaiters for potentially long wet grass.

Maps: Tidbinbilla, Tuggeranong.

Forecast weather: As of Saturday evening, maximum of 15C and WET with rain between 10mm and 40mm. *If the weather is as predicted, the walk will be cancelled! *

Meeting Time: 8.20am for an 8.30am departure

Meeting Place: Kambah Village Shopping Centre car park opposite the service station.
Transport: Distance 65km ($9 per passenger).

Alternatively: Meet at Tidbinbilla Tracking Station car park at 9am. Please text the leader if this is your choice.

Those doing their first Wednesday Medium/Hard walk and those who are not members of the BBC, NPA or CBC clubs must contact the leader beforehand.
