TW Simpson Loop Kersbrook

This event has passed.

What to expect

The Simpson Loop Trail follows quiet country lanes and tracks through the area north of the town of Kersbrook, with good views over surrounding farmland. Although the trail is deemed for walkers, most of the trail is along quiet dirt roads that are shared with cars. The trail is part of the Kersbrook Horse Trails. Regardless, it’s a very scenic hike.

The promoted time to hike the trail is 6 hours but hopefully we will be fit enough to do it in 5 hours with stops.

There will be a stop for morning tea and lunch. Coffee and snacks afterwards is a close drive away, where local ciders and wines are sold.

BIOSECURITY MEASURES – Please ensure you thoroughly clean your footwear, clothing, walking poles and other equipment before and after each walk to remove all seeds, dirt and other debris. Removed seeds should be bagged and disposed in a ‘to landfill’ garbage bin.
