SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club - The Big walk
DESCRIPTION:The big walk is a walk that takes us up Mt Buffalo and back down again. It is a varied walk that climbs for 11 1/2 km from the Park entry at Mt Buffalo to the Gorge and chalet at the top.  After lunch at the top we retrace our steps and look at it from a different angle.  We cross the road three times each way. \nIt’s a solid walk with a small Rocky section that you walk on in the middle. This is not rock hopping but rocky underfoot. Otherwise the main grunt is at the start and then it becomes more gentle. \nThere are some great lookouts along the way for rest stops. \nUnless you are well known to me as a walker\, please call me to discuss this walk. \n\n\n\nGrade 4 Medium-Hard\nLeader: Bernadette\nPhone: 0419241687\nParticipant numbers:12\nFinal booking date: Wed 22/3\n\n\n\n\nKey risks & hazards: Rocky section can be slippery when wet and care must be taken on the steep downhill section as leaf litter can be slippery.\nFor more information and updates about BBC activities\, check www.borderbushwalkingclub.com.au
