I did a walk with the Canberra Bushwalking Club from Casuarina Sands (in the Cotter) to Kambah Pool (just near my house) yesterday. It was very enjoyable. I’m not going to pretend to be excellent at write ups for walks, but will note that the walk leader John Evans has a very detailed blog post…
Wanderings
I am on vacation this week, so I took this afternoon to do some walking and geocaching… That included a return visit to Narrabundah trig to clean up some geocaches I missed last visit: And exploring the Lindsay Pryor arboretum because I am trying to collect the complete set of arboretums in Canberra: And then…
Quartz trig
A morning of vacation geocaching, wandering, and walking to quartz trig. Quartz was a disappointment as its just a bolt in the ground, but this was a really nice area I am glad I wandered around in. This terrain would be very good for cubs and inexperienced scouts.
Hunting for GC1D1NB
I went for an after work walk to try and find GC1D1NB on Tuggeranong Hill yesterday. It wasn’t a great success. I was in the right area but I just couldn’t find it. Eventually I ran out of time and had to turn back. I am sure I’ll have another attempt at this one soon.
Percival trig
I had a pretty bad day, so I knocked off early and went for a walk before going off to the meeting at a charity I help out with. The walk was to Percival trig, which I have to say was one of the more boring trigs I’ve been to. Some of the forest nearly…
A team walk around Red Hill
My team at work is trying to get a bit more active, so a contingent from the Canberra portion of the team went for a walk around Red Hill. I managed to sneak in a side trip to Davidson trig, but it was cheating because it was from the car park at the top of…
Yet another possible cub walk
Jacqui and Catherine kindly agreed to come on another test walk for a possible cub walk. This one was the Sanctuary Loop at Tidbinbilla. To be honest this wasn’t a great choice for cubs — whilst being scenic and generally pleasant, the heavy use of black top paths and walkways made it feel like a…
Further adventures in the Jerrabomberra wetlands
There was another walk option for cubs I wanted to explore at the wetlands, so I went back during lunch time yesterday. It was raining really quite heavily during this walk, but I still had fun. I think this route might be the winner — its a bit longer, and a bit more interesting as…
Exploring possible cub walks
I’ve been exploring possible cub walks for a little while now, and decided that Jerrabomberra Wetlands might be an option. Most of these photos will seem a bit odd to readers, unless you realize I’m mostly interested in the terrain and its suitability for cubs… …
More coding club
This is the second post about the coding club at my kid’s school. I was away for four weeks travelling for work and then getting sick, so I am still getting back up to speed with what the kids have been up to while I’ve been away. This post is an attempt to gather some…
