Summer Season Begins Earlier

Our fortnightly summer walks are due to start on 30 October but Katherine organised for interested walkers to meet in North East Valley. I had no idea what to expect. Katherine arranged for a couple to escort us up a rising Watts Road until we came to a farm. We followed a surveyed road over the farm land until we reached the road. We followed the road a short distance to a t-intersection at Campbell's Road. Two of the walkers opted to turn left heading into Pinehill for a quicker 4km walk in total.

The remainder turned right and walked up Campbells Road and walked until we came to a gate that we had to climb. We had an interesting walk along the farmland track climbing over fallen trees and through a swamp. We then had to go down a marked track until we reached the track that heads down to Bethunes Gully.

It was a lovely day for the remainder of our walk back to our cars. Distance 7kms. Time 2 hours
