Medium-Hard Wednesday Walk, 19 August, Apollo Rock (BBC)

No bookings required for joint club Wednesday Walks

Leader: Philip G. for BBC

From Apollo Road, near the Honeysuckle Creek tracking station site, climb steeply south-east to Apollo Rock where there’s a short, interesting scramble to the top for spectacular views of the surroundings. Then walk south-west along the ridge over a couple of rocky knolls, turn south and descend to a clearing then head roughly north to the Sundial Rock saddle from where we return to the cars on a combination of foot pad and track. Mostly off-track, with thick scrub and boulders to negotiate. About 9 km and a climb of 600 m. Although the walk is short it will take about 7 hours. Suitable for fit and experienced off-track walkers.

Meet: Lanyon Market Place car park in time to leave by 8 am
Map: Corin Dam 1:25,000
Drive and cost: 72 km, $10 per person
Weather as of Saturday, for Canberra on Wednesday: 5 to 17 degrees, cloudy with a slight chance of a shower.
