We will start this year’s easy walks by climbing to the top of Mount Samaria. Don’t be frightened by the prospect - it is a short walk, we start from a high point of the range and the view from the top is excellent. We will take a leisurely pace and have lunch at the top.
Contact Vaughan Cowan 5762 1980 beforehand. We leave the Centre car park at 10.00 am. Just a quick reminder that Easy Walks begin in April to avoid the summer heat. Watch this space for further information.

About Easy BushwalkingThis is a group for those who have enjoyed 'Serious Bushwalking' in the past who now need to moderate their walks, but any member of U3A is welcome to join.
It is a very social group for anyone interested in exploring the amazing tracks, trails and lookouts within an easy to medium drive from Benalla. Even though the occasional weather glitch has challenged us over the past few years, the group has enjoyed many memorable times exploring our local area. Meeting on the first Wednesday of each month, the walks are limited to 8kms, generally on well-defined tracks, occasionally with a short easy climb. The day's outing can include sites of historical or botanical interest and occasionally even a Winery! Even though the walks are labelled Easy Walks, it is important that participants be able to walk at a reasonable pace and be able to keep up with the group. Sturdy shoes are essential! You will also need to carry a small daypack with lunch, drinks, hat, wet weather gear, etc as needed. Ride sharing is usually available at a small cost: $5 or $10. Convenor
