20 October Crusoe Reservoir / Big Hill
Starting at Crusoe Reservoir we will follow walking and management vehicle tracks via No 7 Reservoir and High Level Reservoir to Big Hill summit ridge. We should have good views back towards Castlemaine from our lunch spot. There will be some climbing along the way but we will avoid the steepest sections of the track. From Big Hill it’s downhill all the way back to Crusoe Reservoir following management tracks. The areas should be good for wildflowers at this time of the year along with plenty of bird activity. About 12km, total altitude gain/loss c130m. Euan Moore 0407 519 091
