SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club - Ryders Yard\, Beginners Overnight Hike
DESCRIPTION:This is the perfect walk for those who have yet to experience a night out on the High Plains. The walk is an EASY 6kms to the huts\, all on track and eminently suitable for FIRST TIME overnighters. (Experienced overnighters are more than welcome to join us!) The walk follows the Australian Alps Walking Track from Cope Hut\, passes Cope Saddle Hut and then proceeds along a flat maintenance track beside a viaduct. All up\, it takes about 2 hours of cruisy walking to reach Ryder’s Yards where there are plenty of flat\, grassy spots to pitch tents\, an ample supply of water nearby and a very comfy hut where we can cook meals and socialise. After setting up camp we’ll hike down to the ‘secret’ waterfall and swimming hole where we can cool off\, so bring your bathers (or not!) If you think you may not be properly equipped\, remember you can hire gear from Adventure Gear\, Albury or we can rustle up whatever you might need from other members. I hope as many first timers as possible will take this opportunity to join me for this little adventure. \n\nGrade  2 easy medium\nLeader: Ian Trevaskis\nPhone: 0425782983\nParticipant numbers: 10\nFinal booking date: 17/11\nDistance: 12 km total\nFor more information and updates about BBC activities\, check www.borderbushwalkingclub.com.au

SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club - Mt Feathertop via the Razorback
DESCRIPTION:This is an iconic walk and therefore very popular.  I’m hoping to avoid the crowds by doing it on a Wednesday.\nThe Razorback is the most popular way to get to Mt Feathertop. The walk is a day of up and down with a steep climb to the final ascent but on a clear day it is well worth the effort.  The views from the top are stunning.\nWith 23kms and 900m height gain we will have an early start and a long day. You may even decide to stay overnight somewhere closer to the walk start near Mt Hotham. Please discuss these options with me as you ring to book. \nLeader:Bernadette \nPhone: 0419241687 \nDistance: 23km \nGrade: 4 \nParticipant numbers 12 \nFinal date for booking: Sunday Nov 16th. \nFor more information and updates about BBC activities\, check www.borderbushwalkingclub.com.au

SUMMARY:Border Bushwalking Club - Two walks .... One Mountain
DESCRIPTION:PRIOR TO BOOKING IN FOR EITHER OF THESE 2 WALKS\, IF YOU HAVE NOT WALKED WITH US BEFORE\, YOU WILL NEED TO RING EITHER MICK OR MYSELF.\nThis will be the first time we have been on either of these tracks. They are both well-known and well-marked hikes. Both hikes finish at Mt Buller Summit. We will be doing a car shuffle prior to walking so cars will be waiting for us. When you book\, you will need to say which walk you are booking in for.\nKLINGSPORN BRIDLE TRAIL: is an approx. 7km\, Grade 4 hike and is supposed to be one of the less intense approaches to the summit of Mount Buller. The hike commences from a carpark opposite the Mirimbah Picnic Ground. The track passes\, Thank Christ Corner’ on McLaughlan Shoulder Spur and Burnt Hut Spur. Continuing to climb it passes to the east of the Buller reservoir. From this point\, we will locate the start of the Summit Nature Walk and follow it west towards the prominent summit of Mount Buller. Ascend the trail to the summit. Elevation gain is approx. 1200m \nWEST RIDGE TRACK: is an approx. 7km\, Grade 4/5 hike and traverses the scenic West Ridge of Mt Buller. There may be the option to extend this walk\, but it will depend on group discussion. The hike ascends the dramatic West Ridge\, offering a mix of open Snowgum woodlands and exciting rock scrambles. As you gain elevation\, prepare to be awestruck by unparalleled views unfolding from the summit of Mount Buller. The traditional route begins at the junction of Doughty and Summit Roads. Ascend the West Ridge track\, taking in the scenic surrounds. The path is steep and involves rock scrambles\, so be prepared for a challenging but rewarding climb. Elevation gain is approx. 1300m \nTo save a very early start from Albury on the Saturday I will be staying at The High-Country Holiday Park\, in Mansfield on Friday night. \n\nGrade Option 1 – 4 Option 2 – 5\nLeader: Deb\nPhone: 0410047884 before 8pm\nCo-Leader :- Mick\nPhone : 0437101009\nDistance Option 1 approx 7km Option 2 approx 8km\nParticipant numbers: Up to 10\nFinal booking date: Mon 14/11/2025\nFor more information and updates about BBC activities\, check www.borderbushwalkingclub.com.au
