Easy-Medium Wednesday Walk, 5th August, Rendezvous Rocky Ridge Tour (BBC)

No bookings required for joint club Wednesday Walks

Leader: Lou A. for BBC

From Rendezvous Creek carpark we head to a crossing of the creek to check out riverine boulders before steadly ascending to a significant granite outcrop. A bit of bush and a scramble will be rewarded with views west to the mountains and valleys in the Bimberi Wilderness. We will then head west along the ridge visiting more interesting granite outcrops and a few other features. We circuit back on the south side of the ridge for lunch near Gudgenby Homestead. We return over a saddle back to the Rendezvous carpark circa 2:30 and to Lanyon around 3.

The walk is mostly off track over open ground however this is an opportunity (by choice) to sample granite tor exploration often found on M/H walks (gloves recommended).
