Route Details

This loop involves an unhealthy amount of tarmac, but needs must. I’m uncertain of the time that the gates at Bethunes Gully are locked, so I’m suggesting we park/start run from Norwood Street (near the entrance to Forrester Park (see location). We’ll ascend Cargill via the Mt Cargill Track before heading across to the Organ Pipes and down to Mt Cargill Road. Here the tracks finish and the road begins. We’ll enjoy a glide down to past Upper Junction before diving down Norwood Street and back to the cars. An estimated distance of 11.5-12 km with approx. 550-600 metres of total ascent. See you there.

So glad the wind has gone (for now). Bit of a slow climb to the top but the downhill great. Bit worried about niggly knee going down Norwood St but going slow kept things in check
