Blacksnake Road Granton 2020

 

Today's walk was in really nice weather .

There were 12 walkers and we traveled approximately 8.5 km according to my pedometer in about 3.5 hrs.

Ron didn’t start his watch until after morning tea so I don’t know if he got any better details of track etc.

We started where we had previously finished this walk and proceeded up to the cave for morning tea.Add caption

After morning tea we returned down the track a bit then we climbed up and down a couple of times including a bit of off track work before we reached the cairn at the top for lunch.

The return trip was pretty much a direct return to the cars that we have done on previous trips.

 

Four good legs two good arms and one complete walker

Due to technical difficulties, the usual map and chart aren't available. Never mind, the great photos that Peter has supplied have more than made up for it.

We did do a walk here back in 2015 which shows a map and chart that will give you an idea and if you want to look at that blog CLICK HERE
