Windsor Rocks (North)

The scheduled Two Mountains hike is now cancelled due to this part of the Monadnocks Conservation Area being CLOSED due to prescribed burning.
Instead we'll go the other side of the highway to Windsor Rocks (14.5km, 340m of ascent, rated moderate) ...

According to WalkGPS:
"This walk is [also] located in the Monadnocks Conservation Park. The route explores the 5km length of the northern monadnock/s in the Windsor Rocks area, visiting about 8 separated granite outcrops in the area. The walk features excellent views from several of the outcrops to Mount Solus (about 6-7km SW), to Mount Cooke (about 4.5km NE) and to the main Windsor Rocks monadnock (which the Windsor Rocks South Walk route traverses) about 2km east of this walk route. In winter to spring some of the outcrops in this area are especially picturesque with broad coverings of mosses and lichens and small rock pools and rivulets of water on the granite. The forest between the outcrops is mainly open jarrah."
