Next Hike

The next hike will be om Saturday, 6th December.

We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am

Last week we were very fortunate again with the weather.  It was just a lovely dry and calm winter day with hardly a cloud anywhere in the sky.  The snow fall from the day before was crisp and unmelted in the shady areas, but where the sun had reached it there was not much left even at the higher levels.  We decided to stay away from the roads which could have been slippery in places and started our hike right from the Ballpark in Gillies Bay. We just followed School Road, climbing steadily up through the forest and past Opko's Farm to reach the High Road for lunch.  It was a good long uphill walk that kept us warm all morning, and it was pleasant too following the same route on the return.
