A Swine of a Climb

It's back to the Bull Ring this week (see location)! The forecast suggests the weather could be a little bit less spring-like than the past two weeks. Starting out down Flagstaff-Whare Flat Road we turn up Rollinsons Road. We'll familiarise ourselves once more with Smithy's Track before plummeting down Steep Track to Lake Whare Loop Track. After a gentle jog around a section of the Loop Track we connect with Swine Spur Track. Here begins the major climb of this outing. At times boggy and muddy, we'll grind our way up to Swampy Summit Track and onto the summit itself. Turning around we'll head back across the Summit Track and onto the Firebreak Track skirting behind Flagstaff and back to the cars. Another longer outing again this week, but you love it! It is somewhere in the vicinity of 13.2 km and, I think, 640 metres of ascent. See you there.
