This walk is also being advertised as part of the BWV Try Bushwalking Month. Club members and non BWV guests please register your interest direct through the club as usual. This walk has been capped at 6 members (minimum) and 6 guest walkers registering via BWV.
Track conditions vary from flat and smooth to rocky with steep ascents and descents.
You will need to carry lunch, snacks and at least a litre of water. Sun hat and sun screen is also advisable at this time of the year and of course a rain coat if the weather looks doubtful. As the track is quite steep and rough in parts, sturdy footwear is also required.
The walk begins on a well made track through the gorge however we will leave this track after a short distance to begin the Ted Errey loop. This begins with a steep, rocky climb which will take us to Nelson’s Lookout where we will take a break to admire the view.
From here the track is quite flat, looping through open forest. There are 2 loops that can be cut short if the weather is too hot.
After reaching another lookout we have a steep descent into a shady gully and one short ascent (not as steep as the first) before dropping into the Stony Creek Picnic area. From there it is an easy, flat 3 kms through the gorge back to our cars. We will have lunch along the way.
