Saturday, 4th November: Everton to Horseshoe Gap loop
Nine walkers began this walk on the rail trail at Pender Road, and then left the trail at Heywood Lane, where we climbed steadily up a gentle hill.
We then crossed the walking track which leads to Cemetery Lane, enjoying the wonderful views over towards the mountains.
The return journey was via Cemetery Lane, and the rail trail, back to Everton.
The walk was about 11km long, and a very pleasant medium level walk.
The rail trail follows the route of the Bright railway line, which was a branch from the previously constructed Yackandandah line to Beechworth, with the Bright line branching at Everton.
The line opened as far as Myrtleford in December 1883, being extended to Bright by October 1890. The line closed in on 30th November 1983 between Bright and Myrtleford, and back to Bowser and the North-east line on 13 April 1987.
