There are a number of very short walks on Mt Buffalo that give great views. We often pass them by in favour of bigger walks. Whilst they are all fairly steep, they are short and I’m in no rush. Participants can chose to do all or some of the walks on offer. Lake View: 2km. […]
This is a slow ramble on Nail Can Hill, Albury. It gives plenty of opportunity for admiring the range of wildflowers on the hill, taking photos and catching your breath. Whilst we will be going up and down the hill twice there will be absolutely no rush. It’s at the lower end of grade 3. […]

This ride begins in Yackandandah and follows the new bike track to Beechworth with some challenging ups and downs. There is an option to start near the roundabout on the Wodonga/Beechworth Road and thus avoid the uphill from Yack. (But then you won’t get the thrill of freewheeling back to Yack!). We’ll lunch somewhere in […]
