Dandenong Ranges Loop Hike - ~17km, ~900m elevation

We are completing a loop around Mount Dandenong which includes some great climbs to get your warmed up and the heart pumping. Enjoy views a multiple points along the way. Mostly wide paths and will be sheltered if we experience any rain.
While it will be more like winter weather, I don't anticipate it to be particularly challenging or unpleasant. Some paths may be muddy and wet due to recent downfall.

You need to be in good physical condition with adequate endurance and experience hiking. Hard, grade 4 hike.

What to bring:
· 2L of Water
· Snack and lunch.
· Wear proper hiking shoes with good grip
* Appropriate hiking clothing and protective wear
· Rain jacket and gaiters
* Poles, especially if you usually use them.

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.
