What to expect

The final training walk for E2E16 before we launch into Year 4. But everyone is welcome. 16s are very friendly and seldom bite.

Starting from Brock Reserve, we head up through Mt Osmond Reserve. A brief visit into Glen Osmond CP before heading into Cleland. A bit of everything on this walk. Some ups and downs. Long flat stretches. Wide fire tracks and narrow bush trails. Some stoney sections. And if the weather gods bless us with some rain, some slippery sections. And no Heysen walk would be complete without some roadside walking.

At 26k, it roughly equates, distance wise to day one of our first weekend away. But then we have to back up with another 22k the next day. A sobering thought.
