Easy-Medium Weds Walk #2, 4th November 2026, Callaghan Hill, Rob Roy Nature Reserve (BBC)

No bookings required for joint club Wednesday Walks

Leader: Dave A. for BBC

This is a loop walk where we’ll be starting from the suburb of Banks, then make our way over to Big Monks and Little Monks for nice views of the surrounding reserve. We then join the fire trail and head first in an easterly direction, then north to make our way to the top of Callaghan Hill for lunch. We’ll then head west from here, contour around Monks Pulpit and then back to the edge of Banks to close a 12km loop. This walk is a mix of off-track through grasslands, easy scrub and fire trails. It’s quite a hilly circuit. Loose rocks on the fire trails. Bring your walking poles if you wish.
