Stage Three of Walk the Border ACT 2019 will be remembered as one of the epic stages of this year’s fundraising event! And we’re only three days in!
Five folks completed today’s walk that lasted nearly 10 hours, including an unfortunate diversion around an unexpected road closure.
Plus an extra walker came along for the first part.
The thick scrub, big climbs. and warm day contributed to what was a very very, long day, however as always there was good companionship. And some fantastic views.
Along the way we trod paths rarely crossed by walkers, and was it a special day to experience the varied ecosystems of the northern stretches of the ACT.
We could see the vegetation constantly change as we rose up into the higher altitudes and rarely visited spots of the ACT.
Always in front of the party was Mount Coree, beckoning us on to tomorrow’s walk.
Thanks to Tom, James, Chris and Laurie for great companionship on a very tiring day, and Steph for her short term view of Walk the Border ACT 2019.
