Mixed naturist bushwalk. Walk to the top of the Great Dividing Range near Lancefield, optional BBQ & overnight

A naturist walk of medium difficulty through a couple of farms in the spectacular granite boulder country north of Lancefield. We have often admired a small white house in the forest, high on a nearby hill on the Great Dividing Range. We now have permission to walk there in our birthday suits. The views should be great. If hot, we can cool off afterwards in a lovely creek pool with a sandy beach.

In the evening we will be able to relax with a BBQ dinner, spa, massage, and socialising around an open fire.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Medium 6 to 7 km naturist circuit walk. There is some easy walking through grassy paddocks, but a bit more effort will be required to walk up the farm hills for a view. We will also pass through an open native forest and then down a 4WD track for great views of the farmland below.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:

• SATURDAY WALK: This walk is for naturists. We will meet and unload the cars at the overnight farmhouse anytime between 10am and 10:30am. Hot drinks and nibbles will be available until 11am. We will then have a briefing for the day and do a short car pool to the start of the walk. Lunch will be eaten at a good spot along the way when we get hungry. If the day is hot we can have a nude swim after the walk in a farm dam, or the great waterhole in Mollison Creek. Following the walk and swim we plan to head back to the overnight farmhouse for drinks and snacks a bit after 4pm. The spa should be operating by then with the BBQ to follow around 6pm.
• OVERNIGHT: Optional evening BBQ, overnight, breakfast and lunch at the farmhouse. After the Saturday walk we have been invited back for further naturist socialising at the very comfortable farmhouse with its great open fire. There will also be a spa and massage tables to use.

Tea, coffee and snacks will be provided at the farmhouse on Saturday morning. If you'd like egg and bacon sandwiches/rolls and a latte etc before you arrive at the farmhouse on Saturday morning, the best place to get these would be from a cafe in the towns of Romsey or Lancefield.

Sandwiches are also available at the Shell Service Station in Lancefield (hiding on the bottom shelf in their fridge), though the Romsey sandwiches are better.
