Don’t have much on this weekend? Trying to ignore the week 4 assessment blues? Worry no more, do we have the last minute adventure for you!

This is a last minute event because the Beginner Backcountry Ski Trip got cancelled due to the lack of snow. Instead we have decided to go hiking and have the capacity for more people to join!!

 

Come along to intermediate hiking in Budawangs National Park, where we will visit the ‘castle’, a large rock formation as well as some insane caves and arches along the Budawang mountain range.

 

We will be camping at Wog Wog campground and Burrumbeet Brooks Campground along the way. 

Basic hiking gear can be borrowed from the club, petrol and transport costs included in the cost of the ticket. 

No prior overnight hiking experience is necessary, however, you must have day hiked before and have a reasonable level of fitness (to carry a heavy pack 13km in and out).

 

This will be a 3 night hiking trip with the following itinerary:

Thursday - Afternoon gear check and drive to camp (approx 4.5 hour drive)

Friday - 13.2 km hike to our second campsite

Saturday - 22.6 km out and back day hike to the ‘Castle’, no pack down and set up of camp required

Sunday - 13.2 km hike back to the cars and drive back to Newy.

 

Tickets go on sale 8am Tuesday 8/9/26 (tomorrow!) and close at middnight on Wednesday - so get in quick.

 

 

Any questions, shoot me a pm on messenger.
