Fox Hill Grade 3 Moderate Hike 7.7km - Part 2

*PLEASE NOTE: THE EXTENDED EDITION CHANGES INDICATED IN BOLD*
For anyone who missed last week's hike due to inclement weather or want to revisit the same, this hike will follow a very similar format:

Let's explore another one of Adelaide's gems nestled right by the city in the suburb of Rostrevor (Hint it's not Morialta this time but almost as good and much more niche). Fox Hill, often overlooked in my observation as it is a modest conservation area but well worth the effort in my opinion.

Meet at the carpark immediately after Gate 8 Fox Hill Track (pictured) with ample parking on your left as you approach up Montacute rd. We will then continue on Chapmans Track. Once at the summit going straight continuing down Rocky Hill Track as far as the turnaround point Woodforde Lookout then ascending back up Rocky Hill Track turning left onto Moores Rd and returning via Fox Hill Track (including a small detour with views).

Don't be deceived the first 1km is steep but safe as we will be traversing this upwards for the first 30 min and then all downhill thereon. Really a combination of a Grade 4 hard hike at the beginning and easy Grade 2 fire trails thereafter. (A hiking pole is strongly recommended).

Total distance is 7.7kms for those preferring an intermediate distance of slightly over 2 hours in duration this is your opportunity. There will be at least two notable landmarks as we navigate this circuit as reward for effort put in at the start (almost 300m elevation gain).

Early start to avoid being caught out by the midday UV levels which are sneaking up on us. Let's enjoy a brisk hike and enjoy the best of nature after these early spring rains. Last opportunity to explore Fox Hill before we move on to another location.
