They set off in good weather conditions which was quite a change from the previous day where temperatures had reached 35 and the day was topped off with rain showers at night.
Mother Nature had a few surprises for them as the winds progressively increased with some very strong gusts dramatically bending the trees before abating. Fortunately, the temperature stayed in the low 20's which made the hiking very pleasant.
Down in the gullies next to the pools of water it was a different world with calm conditions.
The walkers stopped at Nelligen on the way home for a spot of lunch in the park beside the Clyde River.
The Batemans Bay Bushwalkers group was first formed in 1985 and now has about 200 members.
We publish four Walks Programs per year, with two walks a week of varying grades. Visitors are welcome on walks and are covered by our insurance for three walks per financial year.
Walks are led by volunteer Walk Leaders, who carry a GPS, topographic map, and when appropriate, a safety beacon. Each walk is graded for difficulty so that you can choose walks to suit your level of ability. More info: www.baybushwalkers.org.au.
