Tinkers Creek Weir & Pig Hill Loops - CBC Sponsored

This Easier Medium Wednesday Walk is an extended version of two previous walks when we missed out on the normally great views of the Murrumbidgee and Molonglo Valleys from Pig Hill (979 m above sea level) due to mist. This time (hopefully) we shall arrive late enough at the summit for morning mists to have cleared. After carpooling from Uriarra Crossing we ascend towards Pig Hill from the north via Tinkers Creek Fire Trail, with a diversion to an old weir on Tinkers Creek (probably dry), but, after reaching the Pig Hill Summit Trail, we turn right and loop around to climb the hill from the south, returning to the cars after lunch via a short cut. Nearly all the walk is through open bush or on trails. Walking poles could be useful as the trails are steep in places. Bring hat, sunburn cream and 2 litres of water.

Forecast as of 4/5/2019: Partly cloudy, slight (30%) chance of shower < 0.4mm, light winds. Temperature 16º max.

Those doing their first Wednesday walk and also prospective walkers who are not members of any of the NPA, BBC or CBC clubs must contact the leader to discuss the level of difficulty of the walk
