WALK DETAILS

We will walk the seven waterfalls of Cleland – our goal is to find all seven!

This walk is approximately 13km. Allow up to 5 hours for this walk as it is a challenging one.   

The walk is rated as a Grade 4 walk with some steep climbs and descents, rocky trails and sections which may be slippery underfoot.  Hiking poles are recommended for this walk.

During winter and/or after rain, there are a few shallow creek crossings that may be deep enough that sneakers may get wet, so definitely a boot walk!

MEET TIME/LOCATION

Please arrive at 8.15am for an 8.30am start. 

Our meet spot is the Measdays Lookout carpark, which is located on Mt Barker Road (the old freeway before the Heysen Tunnels were constructed). The carpark is about 500 metres beyond Eagle on the Hill.

If coming from the city, take the Mount Barker Road Turnoff from South-Eastern Freeway. Note: The EAGLE ON THE HILL turnoff is Mount Barker Road.

Please note that there are no toilets here, so allow time to stop on your way up if you need before arriving.

WEATHER AND GEAR

You can check the forecast for the walk location here - Cleland Detailed Forecast - Bureau of Meteorology

If the weather forecast is for extreme weather or a fire ban is issue for the Adelaide Hills, this walk will be cancelled the day before and fully refunded.

We will only cancel last minute (by text message and email) if there is a severe weather warning/thunderstorm warning or weather events that are likely to impact on the safety of our leaders and walkers.

Due to the variability of the weather, the following items will be needed:

- a daypack (25-35 litre) backpack

- 2-3 litres of water

- sun protection (hat, sunnies, suncream) or wet weather gear (check the forecast and plan accordingly!)

- blister kit/personal medication

- high energy snacks/fruit (maybe some lunch to enjoy enroute)

- boots/comfortable walking shoes

- layerable clothing for before/during/after the walk (eg. jumper/jacket)

- walking poles (optional)

Please ensure you have the minimum gear required as no refunds are possible after booking. If you arrive underprepared without wet weather clothing or the gear listed above, our Leaders have the right to ask you not to walk with us for safety reasons.

Note: All our leaders carry group first aid kits, emergency communication devices and are qualified bushwalking leaders.

OTHER INFORMATION

Our walks are all about fun, fitness and friendship - not a personal training session. If we cannot walk and talk at the same time we are walking too fast! And we never leave anyone behind.

For the walk to go ahead, we need a minimum of 4 walkers registered by the registration closing time (5pm the day before the walk).  If a walk is cancelled due to the minimum number not being met, participants who have registered will be notified by text the evening before the walk and a refund will be given.
