Expression of Interest – Wollemi NP: Colo River Exploratory Walk Saturday 7th November 2020 and Sunday 8th November 2020
The difficulty rating for this walk is 5 out of 5, because: It is an exploratory walk even though the leader has done this walk 25 years ago. We will not be following any marked tracks but using maps to navigate. The terrain will be challenging at times. There is river walking and feet may get wet. All-in-all an excellent weekend. You have all been asking for a challenge, so here it is.
