Perrys Track, Shortridge Pass & Pierces Pass (elev 2000m)
About this event
Distance: 27km Elevation: 2000m Diffuclty: hard due to distance, elevation & terrain. This is an extremely good walk to get your endurance up and build your leg muscles as you climb up 3x500m+ hills and down. Do not underestimate the difficulty because the distance is only 27km, this will most likely finish after dark if the group is slow, especially at descending and ascending the descent and ascent.., so headtorch is a must. Description: Immediate descent of 600m follow by an immediate ascent of 570m, which follows by an immediate descent of 570m. Some flat for 5.5km then an ascent of 450m. We have our lunch break up here (top of pierces pass) before descending down 450m. Flat for a bit before finishing off with a 600m climb back to Perrys CG. Tips: Avoid cramps by keeping check on salt. Pack light Hiking Poles may help here, especially descending Water refill with grose river Weather: Sunny/cloudy Transport: You will need to drive into perrys lookdown campground. If you need a lift, I can pick you up at Blackheath station 7:38am on the street side. (or blacktown station or any of the station on the BM line + hills showground) Exit Points: None
