Leader & Scribe: Lynette Salisbury

On the morning of the 7th, 7 intrepid walkers braved the elements (we needed sunscreen) and met at 10am at Victory Square. Club members  Ray and Lynette Salisbury, plus David Blunt, were joined by second timer; Sarah How, and first timers; Judy Oberhumer, Ashley  Benck and Malindi Gammon.

Once introductions were over, we headed up Emano Street to where the new Pipers Reserve Track begins. A gentle winding track, also used by cyclists, took us up to the lofty heights of Princes Drive (140m a.s.l.), where we exited Bobs Track and walked along the road to the Princes Drive lookout.

Ray gave our newcomers a brief explanation of where we were, and gave us the history of the building of Rocks Road beneath us, and The Cut.

We took the time for a brief photo opportunity, before crossing the road away from the gorgeous view, and down Quebec Road. After some gentle undulations we turned right onto Montreal Road, which gave us some lovely views of the city and Victory area, and headed downhill, turning left at the bottom and back onto Toi Toi Street, which led us back to Victory Square. The walk took about 1½ hours, and seemed to be enjoyed by all.
