Join me for a lovely bushwalk in Tidbinbilla national park! We'll visit many peaks in the tidbinbilla range (Mount Tinbinbilla, 'The pimple', Tidbinbilla Peak and John's peak)over a single day and experience stunning views along the way!
The length of this walk will be 16 kms, with over 1000 m of climbing! Note that for most of this walk, we will be following a very faint/non-existent trail and the terrain will be quite uneven. Unfortunately, I will only be able to take along moderately experienced walkers who have some experience walking off track before.
Here is a dropbox link to my intended route marked out on a topographic map, acccompanied by a .kml file:

When you sign up, please indicate your experience level in bushwalking and some walks you have done previously if I haven't bushwalked with you before. Please also indicate if you have a car and can drive.
Note that I may postpone the trip if the weather is incredibly adverse on saturday (e.g. heavy rain and wind, extreme heat )
Depart from Anu sport at 6 am and drive out to Mountain Creek Carpark in the Tidbinbilla reserve. Follow the Lyrebird Track uphill to Snowy Corner, then to tidbinbilla mountain, the pimple, tinbinbilla peak, John's peak and finally to the fire trail before the camel's hump, which we will follow back to the cars. Leave the tinbinbilla reserve before 6pm and arrive at ANU sport before 7pm. We will aim to finish the walk by 5pm and arrive in Canberra by 6pm.
