Perambulators Governor Grey's Track Sunday 27 October 2024 10am
We will explore a new track (to me) that starts at the bottom of Kelson and ends half way up Hill Road Belmont. The track can be narrow, a little slippery in places and you will get wet feet. There are 3 streams to cross and their depth is totally dependent on how much rain we get in the week leading up to the walk. There is some lovely bush, interesting views and it loops back down to the cars. Meet at Belmont School Car Park, turn right off SH2 at Kelson and before crossing Kennedy Good Bridge turn immediately right again. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZKdjri12qWhHLZGr9 Be there ready to start walking at 10am. I will decide where we go for coffee depending on numbers attending (and yes I know it is Labour Weekend). I expect the walk to be about 2 hours long. Please RSVP no later than 6pm Friday 25 October.
