Please read the notes below
CANIHIKE
Will be hiking,
This will be a great chance to get out into the forest with your best friend and see what we are all about.
If you are worried about your fitness level, don't be as there will probably be someone around the same level.

MEETING SPOT
Is on Red Hill Rd approximately 5 km from the turn off at Yarramalong Rd. It's at the intersection of Red Hill Rd and Middle Ridge Rd, there is an area for parking on the left-hand side of the road. (Middle Ridge Rd has a steel gate across it) If you are using google maps the spot is called "Jeeps Revenge"
TRAIL
Will be half on wide fire trail and the rest a little more challenging. This may change depending on who is participating.

DISTANCE
Depending on the group, weather etc we will aim for around 5k to 10k, some may wish to go longer. We strongly advise to have at least 2 people hiking/running together. The track can be described as undulating.
LIGHTS
We will be finishing in the dark so please bring a head torch or something similar so you will be able to see.
WEATHER
We will still go ahead if it's raining.
Please note if it's wet, there may be leeches. We recommend spraying your legs, ankles and shoes with Aeroguard or Bushmans etc. Usually there are not, unlike Strickland

PEASE BRING WATER FOR YOUR DOG AND YOURSELF
There are no streams and possibly only few muddy puddles.
DOGS
Do you think you have a reactive or badly behaved dog? We don't care as long as you manage it appropriately. This may mean being at the back (or front) of the group. Also, don't worry about the barking.....
IMPORTANT
This is a social group, and you are 100% responsible for your dogs behavior.
This includes your dog being on leash (as per the NSW Companion Animals Act)
You are also 100% responsible for your own actions, safety etc if you choose to participate. We strongly advise to have at least 2 people hiking together if the group splits.
