A very brief walk report - July 31

A cold but sunny day brought 14 walkers out this morning to circumnavigate Lake Wendouree. A very pleasant time, walking and chatting, was had by all.

It was lovely to see Marlene, Helen McD and Maria join us for coffee at The Yacht Club, which very efficiently had us seated and coffeed in no time.

Thanks to Libby for the photo.

 July 24 Walk Report

A lovely sunny day brought nineteen people out to enjoy a walk that took us through some urban areas but mostly along made tracks beside the Kensington Creek. Once having left the busy Delacombe Town Centre, it was a pleasant surprise to find ourselves in the natural beauty of the creek and its quiet surrounds. 

We stopped at a spot beside the water that was made for a banana break, before looping back towards DTC. Crossing Glenelg Hwy, we walked up the back of the shopping centre and made our way to Wildseed Cafe for coffee.

Many thanks to David R and Helen McL for a very interesting and enjoyable walk, and for ordering up perfect weather for us.

 

 Bushwalk -- 24th July - Winter Valley.

This walk is partly in town streets and partly on well constructed walking tracks beside the Kensington Creek in the Winter Valley area. It is generally flat with a few minor ups and downs. The length of the walk is approx. 7km.

The walk starts and finishes at Delacombe Town Centre. Meet in car park at front of Dan Murphy's for a 9.30am start. Bring morning tea for a stop along the way.

Toilets are available at Delacombe Town Centre but not along the track.

The walk will be led by David Radcliffe & Helen McLean.

 Walk Report July 10

Thursday morning was cold and wet but 10 intrepid people braved the elements to complete a very enjoyable walk. Apart from some rain at the beginning, it was clear, and not too cold if we kept moving.

From the rotunda in the Botanical Gardens we made our way to Strawberry Glen Lane which soon became a single file track through some pretty bush land. This opened up to a very attractive vista of hills to the south of the Midland Highway. We continued walking mainly on unmade roads which had become impassable to cars due to the rain and then back to the Gardens via the Fasham Rd track and some suburban streets.

Coffee was enjoyed at Espresso Depot and we were all glad to have taken on the challenge. Often if the weather looks a bit grim, it can be surprisingly enjoyable to get out walking.

July 10 Bushwalk - BUNINYONG

Meet at 9.20 for a 9.30am departure from the rotunda in the Buninyong Botanical Gardens. There are toilets in the gardens and parking is available on the road.

We will walk on the more bushy south side of Buninyong, mainly along unmade roads and tracks. They are quite wet and muddy in places, after the rain, so poles would be useful. Category B.

Distance is around 8.5kms.

Bring a snack for morning tea but we will be able to walk to Espresso Depot for coffee after the walk.
