SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club - Mount Sugarloaf
DESCRIPTION:On David’s Beechworth Hills walk a few years back we noticed an interesting loop on the map that was nearby.  It looked like it might have good views.  It is Mt Sugarloaf and it does.  Mt Sugarloaf is on the northern side of Woolshed road (which heads out to Eldorado). I was COVIDED by my last attempt at this walk so here we go again.\nThe shortest route there is on little used 4wd tracks that climbs through some very pleasant forest.  Some of the walking is steep but never such that your boots scrape your chin.\nThere is a very pleasant lunch spot with great views at the top.\nThe walk is 16km all up. I have not done 2.5 kms of it but it looks pretty straight forward both on the map and looking at it from afar. If it turns out that there is a problem with this part we can turn back and retrace our steps without doing any extra kms. \nPlease ring me to book in. \n\nGrade 3 Medium\nLeader: Bernadette\nPhone: 0419241687\nParticipant numbers:\nFinal booking date: Wed August 24th\nFor more information and updates about BBC activities\, check www.borderbushwalkingclub.com.au

SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club - Mt Buffalo snow shoe
DESCRIPTION:Mt Buffalo snow shoe – the Horn and Dicksons falls\nClearly this date may change depending on snow cover at Mt Buffalo.\nThe plan is to park at the old Cresta site\, walk up to the horn\, back down\, then out to Dickson’s falls. I’m guessing it’ll be maybe 12km for the day\, but how far we actually go will be dependant on how easy the walking is. If it’s bad weather\, or the snow is too soft and hard work walking\, we’ll just do as much as feels enough. \nNote that the club has some snow shoes you can hire\, otherwise we can stop in Myrtleford on the way. However you’re responsible for organising your snow shoes e.g. calling ahead to reserve a pair if you need to. \nSimilarly\, I have snow chains for my car but we’ll stop in Myrtleford to get them for the other cars if needed and share the cost between the participants. \n\n\n\nGrade 3 Medium\nLeader: David G\nPhone: 0432 632 142 after 7pm\nSlipping on ice\, cold/wet/windy conditions

SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club  Tramway Walk
DESCRIPTION:Starting at  Clover Dam\, we start with a river crossing then walk uphill on a 4WD track for about 3kms. If the river is too high to cross \, as happened last year\, we will walk to the end of the track and half way along the Tramway before returning the same way. \nHopefully the river can be crossed\, and we will head uphill for about an hour \, before reaching the Tramway. After morning tea we walk  along the Tramway\, which is flat\, running alongside the water race . There is often interesting bits and pieces of old equipment along here\, and also several small creeks feeding into the aqueduct . \nThere are two trestle bridges that will require us to scramble down and up the other side. Where the Tramway finishes we walk on a 4WD track back to the Bogong High Plains road. It is about 1.3kms back to the cars along this road \,but we will stop at the Clover Arboretum to view the village remnants and plants. \nThis is not a long walk \, total 11kms\, and it is mostly easy\, but it does have a few ups and downs and short scrambles. \nThis is a good walk for new members who are uncertain of their fitness\, as there is only a few hills\, and we have plenty of time. \nPlease do not phone before Monday 1st August to book in. \n\n\n\nGrade 2 Easy-Medium\nLeader: Pauline Scott\nPhone: 02 60271834\nParticipant numbers:\nFinal booking date: 03/08/22\nKey risks and hazards: River crossing.
