Enjoy a naturist day out, walking in the beautiful and spectacular country near Lancefield courtesy of one of our members who has a farm in the area. Meet at the farm for tea, coffee and refreshments before you walk off for the day. Note that this is a day event only, though we are planning an optional BYO BBQ dinner for those wishing to extend their stay on the farm into the evening.
For people planning to attend the Men's Massage Swap at Castlemaine the following day, Sun 12th Oct, we are offering a place to stay overnight with light breakfast. There is a maximum of 8 places for people who would like to stay overnight.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Grade 2: Moderate 6 km circuit walk in quite hilly open country. Walking is on 4WD tracks, animal pads and through grassy paddocks (graded according to the AWTGS: Australian Walking Tracks Grading System).

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: We will meet at the farm property. Tea, coffee and refreshments will be available when you arrive. After introductions and the briefing for the day, the group will car pool about 2 km on good gravel and bitumen roads to the start of the walk on a neighbouring farm property.  Clothes can be shed once we park the cars amongst the trees on the neighbouring farm. We will walk for a while to build our appetites and then stop for lunch at a good spot with a view.

After lunch, we continue our exploration of the picturesque farm and the spectacular rock boulder formations before returning to our cars to drive back to the farmhouse. There you can have tea, coffee, nibbles and a drink while enjoying the lovely open fire before departing for home or staying on for the optional dinner.

For those wishing to stay on, the optional BBQ dinner has been planned around 6pm. BYO meat and drinks and anything else you wish to contribute. Salads, bread, sauce, tea, coffee etc will be provided.

MEETING TIME | LOCATION: 11:00am at the farm which is 14 km north of Lancefield. The exact address will be sent out on Thursday 9th October to all those who have registered by midnight Wednesday 8th October.

MAP REFERENCE: Google map goo.gl/maps/y5sn4nWk3PpjFjBVA. 

DISTANCE | TIME FROM GPO: 82 km, approximately 1 hour 15 minutes to drive.
If you are returning home at dusk it is safer to drive at 80 km/h or less and keep an eye out for wombats and kangaroos on the road when driving from the farm to Lancefield, and from the farm to Kilmore. After Lancefield and Kilmore on the way to Melbourne, you are on main country bitumen roads and kangaroos are quite rare.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT: Public transport will only get you to Lancefield, 14 km short of the farm. It would be better to see if the Leader can assist you in finding car transport from your suburb.

FOOD: Carry lunch, snacks and water for your day out in the country.
If after the walk you'd like cheese, biscuits, nibbles and a drink other than tea or coffee, could you please bring a contribution.
