This was our annual Full Moon Walk, and took place on the rail trail between Beechworth and Wooragee.
We met up at Beechworth, and after spending some time at Lake Sambell watching the Dragon Boat training sessions, while eating a light meal, the group drove to the start of the trail, and a short car shuffle was arranged.
Eighteen club members headed off in the twilight on the excellent surface of the almost brand-new, easy (not MTB!) bike track, that still shows interesting relics of the former railway.
The weather was absolutely perfect, with pleasant warm conditions experienced, and even a very slight breeze provided by Karen our leader!!!
After about an hour of walking on the flat, and even surface, sunset occurred, but we continued to walk in the semi darkness with a magnificent full moon providing sufficient light to amble along safely, while also giving us the ability to look down into the valley to the north west, and watch the silent black cattle still munching away in the foreground!
We arrived at the village of Wooragee about 10.30pm, having covered just over 10kms, and then we drove home after enjoying a delightful ramble with Luna watching us from 380,000 kms above!
