Description  

Saturday

The Kaituna Ridges Ramble is a walk/mountain bike event organsised as a fundraiser for Pelorus Community Preschool on Kaituna Ridges, a “stand out” property at the base of the pelorus sounds within the Kaituna Valley. There is an entry fee of $20.

The walk will begin at the woolshed on Kaituna Ridges farm. The route is a steady uphill climb, mainly a on 4WD track to the first saddle with a decent drop before returning to the ridgeline and winding through beautiful beech forest. Another saddle is mastered before heading into thicker bush and following an old gold miners trail to come out on the ridge to begin the final decent. 

Walking the return trip is expected to take between 4 to 6 hours. Kaituna ridges is a moderately challenging but rewarding trek which requires medium fitness. 

There will be a BBQ and food available for purchase from the woolshed at the finish.
