Route Details

Sorry for the late posting this week! Graeme is in the lead for this one. It'll be a loop from Leith Valley, up the Nicols Creek MTB track, then onwards to Swampy Ridge via the Moon Track. For the return leg, we'll head towards Flagstaff then the top part of the Pineapple Track. The final descent will be via the old Nicols Road track (and maybe a visit to the waterfall?) The run will be somewhere between 10-11 km, with about 500 m of vert. The forecast is fine, but it can be cool along Swampy, so maybe pack an extra layer. Thanks again Graeme and see you there!
