Mount Cotton Introductory Walk (SDW 3A)

This is an introductory walk for new club members and a lovely local walk for existing club members. Non-members will need to pay $5 on the day (please bring the correct change) and sign the Acknowledgement of Risk form for our insurance.
The walk is 7.5 km and 175m of elevation gain, and usually takes up to 3 hours including a short well-earned rest at the lookout at the top (Views to Glasshouse Mountains, Moreton Island and Straddie on a clear day) for morning tea.
The walk is mostly on fire trails with one small section off track, but can be slippery on steep sections coming down, so walking poles are advised if you have them, more care required if you don’t.
The route is shared with mountain bikers, so you will need to be alert and pay attention to any instructions given by the leader.
Bring at least 1L of drinking water, morning tea, sun hat, sunscreen and poles if you use them.
The walk starts at Gate 5 (aka the green box) on West Mount Cotton Road, and arrive at least 15 minutes early for a 7am start. It’s on the opposite side of the road from property number 712 – 730. Just click attend in Meetup if you are a member of the group and meet there on the day.
