October - Wenham's Walk & the Friends' Track, Warby Ranges

21/10/2017

 
​A fine sunny day saw five walkers complete the 4.1 km circuit starting from Wenham’s Camp in the Warby Ranges.  As usual, we started by having morning tea at a picnic table, then taking the northern arm of the Friends' track, we found a great display of wildflowers.  There was also a “bush shanty” which had been constructed by some energetic people beside this track.  The track followed the creek (which leads to Brian’s falls) for a short way before heading north to a ridge.  We took the left fork at a track junction and headed south.  This track follows another ridge which gives a good view of Wangaratta, and we had lunch on a bare granite outcrop surrounded by Spur-wing wattles in full bloom.  We were trying to find a grass tree that was flowering on the way back to Wenham’s, but only saw one as we drove out!  It was such a great day that we were wondering how we could get some more walkers in the future.  The walks are not hard, a change from walking round the lake.
Easy Walk - Wednesday November 1

We will be walking through the Reef Hills.  The area covered will depend on the wildflowers.  We will leave Benalla at 10am.

    About Easy Walks

    Easy Walks are aimed at maintaining fitness by introducing people to bushwalking and giving previous bushwalkers the opportunity to continue bushwalking on shorter, easier and well defined tracks. Walks will
    be approximately 5 - 7 kms without a lot of climbing, usually within an hour’s drive of Benalla. Participants will require sturdy shoes & be able to carry a backpack containing snack, lunch, adequate water, water-proof jacket, and personal items. Members are asked to notify walk leaders of
    attendance at least 3 days prior to the walk to enable carpooling,travel costs, and other arrangements. 

    Meeting times

    1st Wednesday - 9:00/10:00 start - All Day - from March
    Easy Walks are held on the first Wednesday of the month 
    recommenc-ing in March 2021 and leave from the carpark behind the Seniors Complex (U3A), Fawckner Drive, Benalla.  Meeting times are usually around 9-10am depending on the season and weather conditions or as deter-mined by the walk leader.  Check the monthly U3A Newsletter and confirm any details with the walk leader.
