On Tuesday 26th November Beda led a walk from Crafers to Cleland , through to Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens and back again.
I haven’t walked a lot in this area, so some of the tracks were new to me. We enjoyed some lovely views over the city after a chilly start.
There is a new track from Mt lofty to Cleland being constructed, which will offer a walk on a less steep gradient.
By morning tea time the 14 of us in the group had already walked 6.2km and we stopped at the ruin near the Cleland gates (you can see the squiggle at the northern end of the map).
Beda took us wandering amongst the Rhododendrons , which are really looking great at the moment. We also had the challenge of dodging sprinklers as we made our way along the paths and across the lawns.
Lunch was in Mt Lofty Botanic gardens at about the 10.5km mark after that lovely treat.
Beda brought us back from there with a little steepish track work, but nothing that these guys couldn’t handle.
where we had a view of some extremely steep back yards. It gave a whole new meaning to “I’m just going down to the back yard for a while, Honey”
We were joined for afternoon tea at Crafers by Tom, Trevor, Verna and Andrew who were all unable to walk, but well enough to come on out for coffee (and possibly some food).
Thanks Beda for another excellent walk.
