About this event
SUNDAY 2 AUGUST - Castle Rock + Paradise Beach
REGISTRATION WITH THE WALK LEADER IS ESSENTIAL. PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW.
RATED:
MEDIUM HARD - long grass, some scrub, three hills, beach walking
DESCRIPTION
This is a great coastal day walk on Cape Cleveland. We are taking a different route to normal so the first 2 km is exploratory as we bash our way through long grass and scrub, vines etc (all that fun stuff).
In the gullies we may encounter a lot of Blue Tiger butterflies.
There are three steep hills. Two along the route between beaches (following rough steep tracks), and the final steep climb to Castle Rock (no track). To clamber on top of Castle Rock, for the best beach view, is superb (the rock summit does challenge some though, especially if windy).
Lunch will either be at Castle Rock or down on Paradise Beach. There will be opportunity for swim at the beach.
WALK DETAILS
Meet time: 7:30am at Alligator Ck (location will be given on registration).
Return time: Back at the cars 5-6pm
WHAT TO BRING
- Water: you will need water for full day eg minimum 4L. There is no resupply during the day.
