🥾 Track Grade Breakdown

This loop trail is about 6kms and offers a wonderful blend of terrain, combining smooth, wide fire trails with more natural, uneven, and slightly rocky bush tracks and some footpaths linking the bush areas. While the overall elevation change is gentle, the varied surface and the distance mean a reasonable level of basic walking fitness is recommended. We will be moving at a soulful pace, ensuring plenty of time to navigate any uneven sections mindfully and enjoy the natural surroundings together.
