What to expect

This was to be a short week of three walking days, in Nukunu country, to get our timetable back on track, following the vicissitudes of Covid.
Unfortunately, due another Covid attack, we will still be three walking days behind.
We are based at Crystal Brook for 5 days.
Day 1 Walking from Mount Zion to Bowman’s Hut along a reroute necessitated by the Trail being pushed off the Crystal Brook north of the town. A day of road walking ;-(.
Day 2 Bowman’s Hut to Locks Ruin via a realignment down the main street of Crystal Brook and more roads.
Day 3 Locks Ruin to Raeville, via Hiskeys Hut and more road walking.

Walk difficulty: End-to-End Minus 2

Starting from Parachilna Gorge and walking from the north to the southern Cape Jervis, rather than usual south to north walking direction. This second North-South traverse of the Heysen Trail begins, with three weeks walking over three years to complete the Trail in quick smart time.

These walks are for those wishing to walk some or all of the Heysen Trail. There are approximately sixty day walks involved, spread over six years. The southern walks, from Cape Jervis to Kapunda, are held on one Sunday per month during the walk season. Due to the greater travelling distances involved, from Kapunda northwards, the walk is held over a weekend.

These arrangements make it easy to walk the entire trail because the Friends of Heysen Trail work out many of the logistics.

These walks are reasonably demanding and for walkers who have walked regularly in various terrain. They have a walking time of about 5 to 6 hours and will require a high degree of physical fitness.

Refer to the End-to-End Walks page for more detailed information.
