Night hike : Crafers – Mt Lofty loop

Back to Walk Calendar
This event has passed.

What to expect

This is a ‘last chance’ to enjoy an evening walk before the end of daylight saving.

This a night time walk to Mt Lofty summit and return.

Distance is approximately 10 klms

Be aware this is walking in the dark over some roughish tracks, so a headlamp or a good quality torch is a must.

A detail I forgot to mention, is that the kiosk at the summit won’t be open when we get there.
Also the service station at Crafers is being rebuilt, so again nothing available.
So I suggest you carry a meal/snack with you.
We will take a rest/meal break up on the summit.
Also should you need to contact me, my mobile is 0466 981 945
See you all Friday evening

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.

Requirements

Headlamps or a torch are a ‘must have’

As there are rough tracks.

Also a jacket as it gets quite cold at the summit.

Experience

Rough tracks and in the dark.
