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. NSW health regulations require group walkers to be double vaxed, therefore this is a requirement for MVB walkers going on events in NSW.  These rules and regulations are regularly changing so please be aware of any such changes.  Restrictions may be relaxed further in December.

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

This is a new walk exploring old trails that leave the main Ridge Trail. Main ones to explore this week include the gully trail, MBT, Ungera Trail and Brooders Trail. Mostly undulating or steady climbing trails. Nothing too steep.

Meet at 8.30am on Centaur Rd, Lavington (gravel road end) where the Nail Can Hill Ridge Trail (that heads into Albury) meets the Hamilton Range Ridge Trail (that heads to the Jindera Gap).  

No toilets are near this walk, except back in Lavi town. Due to recent rain it may be wet underfoot in some locations so have adequate footware.

dogs OK (but there are kangaroos and wallabies around)

Bring hat, water and a morning tea snack. Coffee and cake/lunch afterwards in Lavi for those interested.

Any late cancellations please call me on 0456 100 183
