This walk leads out to great views over the lower Grose River. Then a short sharp steep descent (dry conditions only) off track to the river for a (possibly wet) crossing to the other side. We then follow the opposite bank on a faint track before recrossing (wet again) to climb out on an easy fire trail. While it is Grade 3, the descent is very steep and requires good balance and co-ordination. Similarly crossing the river will require getting feet wet and dependent on height, if there has been rain. All participants will need to show proof of double vaccination and if car pooling from Richmond, wear masks while in cars.
