With Leader Lesley Finedon out front, 16 walkers started this walk on Warner’s Track in the Woolshed Valley.
They covered about 12kms on a warm day, with a maximum of 30 degrees.
The group ambled off at 8.45am, and climbed continuously upwards; the track was quite eroded and washed out, making it very slippery in parts.
Lunch was enjoyed at the lookout of Mount Sugarloaf, enjoying stunning views over the Woolshed Valley towards Beechworth, and then on to Mount Buffalo in the distance.
Everyone enjoyed the adventure, and after making it successfully back to the cars they were welcomed once again by that amazing cup of tea, and freshly baked biscuits, provided by the incredible Pat!
