Mondays Walk 1 June

Clutha River Loop at Luggate

The weather tomorrow is still looking dodgy, so we'll do a figure of eight loop based at the DOC carpark in Shortcut Road, Luggate.  We'll walk upstream along the bank of the Mata-Au / Clutha  then loop around and back to the carpark; then cross the road (Highway 8A), and walk downstream to Devil's Nook, up Luggate Creek and back to the cars.  That gives us options to lengthen or shorten the route depending on the weather.

Petrol $5

Monday 27 April

Monday’s walk this week will be Lindis Peak. Description. A 13km return walk gaining an elevation of 1,226m. This involves a short steep beginning and then a steady climb up a 4WD track across farmland. Lunch will be at the summit with fabulous 360 degree views. In order to achieve this we will need to keep a reasonable pace uphill! Meet at the lake front for a prompt departure at 9.30. We drive to Old Faithful Rd to start the walk. There’s a possibility of those who don’t want the climb of walking to the Old Lindis Hotel ruins. Petrol contribution $20. Leader Jane Hudson. 0272929774

Monday 20th April

Destination: Lake Hayes Loop Track Let's meet at the lakefront at 9.30 as usual and Plan A is to drive to the Bendemeer Bay carpark on Lake Hayes and enjoy the autumn colours and views of snow covered hills. The Loop Track is only an undulating 8 km walk but given the temperatures tomorrow (high of 9!) we’ll stay low and hopefully warm. Petrol costs $15 pp There is a plan B closer to home if the weather is really horrid. Leader: Jane Hudson.
