Chillout Saturday Morning Community Bushwalk
About this event
Join The Nomads for a walk in the bush during the ChillOut Festival along picturesque Sailors Creek and onto the hilltop ridges at the back of Hepburn.
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Choice of two circuit walks. Easy 4 km walk or Medium to Hard 5.5 km walk with some challenging off-track hills to climb and descend.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
The easy walk will be done at a relaxed pace, though it does have a couple of hills to ascend. The harder walk requires a reasonable level of fitness. It will move at a faster pace and has some challenging hills to climb and descend. You may be able to reach Breakneck Gorge. Both walks will stop for a 20 minute break in the forest. A good chance to make new friends. Bring face mask, hand sanitiser, water, hat, apply sunscreen and wear closed shoes, not sandals.
BOOKING: Preferably by Friday 5th March. Click on Get Tickets to book.
