Cleland Morning Dew – Take 2

Back to Walk Calendar
This event has passed.

What to expect

Meet and start as noted below. This is a training walk of approx. 13.1 kms, that includes a steady climb of approx. 347m over 7kms with great views of the city. We will go via the Burnside Track, up the “Goat Track” (at Gate 9), then the Long Ridge Lookout, follow the Long Ridge Track up to the Cleland carpark (toilet and snack stop). Then follow the Perimeter Track (anti-clockwise) around Cleland before stopping at the Cleland Cafe. After the break, back on the Long Ridge Track, then the Winter track onto Waterfall Gully Road. A short road walk then brings us back to the start.

If you have only been walking on the flat over summer, this is an opportunity to brush up on your walking skills both up and down.

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.

Walk difficulty: Summer Walks

These walks are only for when it is not walk season. The walks are generally 1.5 to 2 hours mostly on Wednesday evenings, meeting at 6pm, followed by a meal, close to Adelaide. With increasing popularity of walks some may be in the morning with variable meeting times and longer than the evening walks.

These walks are for those who

  • wish to maintain their fitness outside the walking season,
  • may not be regular walkers,
  • have not walked in a group previously, or
  • want a shorter walk.

Anyone undertaking these walks may have only a modest degree of physical fitness. However read the walk description as some walks may be longer and more strenuous than others.

Hazards

The route uses a shared bike path in places, some uneven surfaces, some slippery surfaces both going up and down. One section has a sheer drop on one side (please consider if you have any issues with heights or vertigo). We also have to cross Waterfall gully road twice on the final section. Speeding cars and bikes can be an issue.

Requirements

Bring a jacket (as required) snacks, and water. Walking shoes recommended. Walking poles are also recommended for the narrow sections both up and down, but your preference. Hot drinks and snacks can be bought at the Cafe.

Experience

Trail walker or similar. Being used to narrow uneven paths, and steep sections (down) in places.
