Leader: Leah Parker
On Tuesday we met at Barnicoat Carpark by 9am. It was a sunny morning and very hot. We set off and up the 4WD road to the hand glider area on the main Barnicoat Track. Sweating and hot!
Once at the top, we stopped for a break. A little bite of Rocky Road and my orange prune and nut energy log, then we set out along towards the Involution trail and back down to the carpark.
We had another quick stop at the top of the trail at the Jenkins Hill turn-off.
Alex, Suzanne’s five-month-old, was a little champion –not a peep out of him. He slept when tired and had a bottle when hungry, all while on the move in the front pack.
Pat made track improvements along the way. It was a very diverse group from a wide range of backgrounds; everyone chatting. I was very pleased with the turn-out for the trial of a mid-week walk.
It took us just under four hours. I’m looking forward to leading another trip sometime soon.
Participants were: Leah Parker (scribe), Grant Derecourt, Suzanne Morris, Alex Morris, Penny Parker, Sarah How, Pat Holland, Joyce Robinson, Bob Robinson, Chris Louth & Dog.
