Big Pats Creek Circuit - Approx. 24km, Elevation gain 650m - Hard

A nice forested area with plenty of past logging history. A series of hill climbs on 4wd tracks will add to this hard but rewarding hike, reaching a max elevation of about 860m, so expect cold conditions. Also a few creek crossings on old timber log, made safe with hand rails.

Please do not RSVP to any Eastern Hiking & Adventure event unless you are fully committed to attending. It is your responsibility to check the date, distance, and difficulty of the walk before RSVPing.
Members who frequently withdraw at the last minute, fail to show up, arrive without being on the "going" list, or behave disrespectfully towards leaders or fellow members will be asked to leave the walk and may be removed from the group. All leaders are unpaid volunteers who invest a great deal of their own time to plan and research each walk. Their efforts deserve respect and consideration. Organisers do their best to minimise waitlists where possible, and priority will be given to reliable members who attend regularly and contribute positively to the group experience.
