Wednesday 3rd March saw an enthusiastic group of nineteen amblers and ramblers setting off
for Beechworth’s Lake Sambell. It was great to see some new members in the group,

Everyone enjoyed a relaxed walk of about six kilometres along the Lake, then turning onto the
Murray-Mountains Trail and ending on the Gorge Road at Newtown Falls.  Despite the recent
lack of rain, the Falls made a lovely splashing backdrop to our walk along the Gorge Rd,and
members marvelled at the work of the miners who had dug and blasted their way through the
landscape in the gold era.

We looped around and returned via the sculpture trail, with members pacing out the labyrinth,
and enjoyed a picnic lunch by the Lake.

April’s Mt Pilot walk will be slightly more challenging, but equally enjoyable.

Andi put together a great post on Facebook which included these photos. It surpassed our goal for number of likes for a Facebook post of 15, with 17 Likes at last viewing!

Andi noted that  that "Of that lovely Beechworth walk, the GPS says, "Having cut off the wandering at Sambell Lake for lunch, made the walk 5.9km. 1 hour 47 minutes.  Walking the labyrinth was about 114 metres. Not that my GPS is precise enough to show the pattern!
