Tuesday walk - Mt Buffalo: 11 km grade 2 to 3/4 (explained)

 Tuesday morning walks have changed to day walks in the mountains whilst it is hot.

Due to COVID-19 health requirements, members must provide their own sanitisers, gloves, wipes, masks, etc.  If car pooling is required please contact the event co-ordinator.

Normal social distancing rules will apply. If 1.5m cannot be maintained then a mask needs to be worn. 

THIS WILL BE A CAR POOLING EVENT and masks will be required to be worn in the car.

This event will combine 4 short walks. three will be flat grade 2 walks. The grade 3-4 walk, known as The Chalwell Galleries, is a 1hr, 1.7km walk that has a climb (not steep) and steps. However, I grade the Gallery as a grade 4 as there is some rock scrambling to do (but is considered safe and is fun and cool).  This section can easily be omitted if you choose not to rock scramble. The 3 flat walks are the Gorge Heritage Walk (5km), the Lakeside Walk (2km) and the Catani Track (2km).

Meet at Bunnings carpark, Wodonga at 8am. Car pooling will be arranged with possible morning tea at Myrtleford or at the Mt Buffalo Chalet.

Toilets available at Bunnings carpark, Myrtleford park and Mt Buffalo.

NO dogs 

Bring hat, water and a morning tea snack and lunch. 

Plan to be home around 5pm
