Beginning at Peirce’s Pass we will make our way down into the valley and walk along the river towards the infamous Blue Gum Forest. If it’s a hot day we mig ht even be able to find some pools in the river for a refreshing dip.\n\n& nbsp\;\n\nNo skills are required\, but having some solid glute muscles wil l help you on the way out of the valley in the afternoon \;)\n\n \;\n\ nYou will need to bring:\n\n A Daypack– Just to fit the items on this li st.\n Lunch – Anything you want\, better to bring too much than not enou gh.\n Snacks – Again anything is fine but I would suggest high energy fo ods like nuts\, fruit (dried or normal)\, chocolate\, muesli bars etc.\n A t least 2L of Water – If it is a particularly hot you may want more. Kee p in mind we will be out most of the day.\n Enclosed Shoes – Hiking shoe s are great\, Joggers are definitely fine\, Thin/Flat soled shoes like Con verses or Volleys are imo a poor choice but would be passable. Thongs are absolutely moronic…\n Sunscreen and Hat – Remember to Slip\, Slop\, Sl ap kids!\n Swimmers and Towel (Optional) – If you want to go for a swim in the river.\n\n \;\n\nThe plan on Sunday morning will be to drive fr om the campsite at Mount Wilson to Pierce’s Pass car park\, which is a s hort trip of 20 minutes. We will be aiming to leave at about 9 AM. I will be driving and should have space for 4 more people. If you have a car and space for other people please let me know and we can try and organise some lifts :)\n\n \;\n\nThe aim will be to get to Blue Gum Forest for lunc h\, however\, depending on how we are progressing time wise and how people are feeling we have the option of turning back earlier. The whole trip sh ouldn’t take any more than 6 hours and most of the walk will be flat apa rt from the beginning and end.\n\n \;\n\nLooking forward to seeing you there! :)\n\nAndrew Barnett - 0439735393 - andrew.barnett.au@gmail.com ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://unswoc.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/ 2015/03/50422.jpg CATEGORIES:Bushwalking LOCATION:Pierce's Pass Carpark\, Pierce's Pass Picnic Area\, Blue Mountains National Park \, NSW\, 2570\, Australia GEO:-33.565586;150.344681 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Pierce's Pass Picnic Area\, Blue Mountains National Park \, NSW\, 2570\, Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100 ;X-TITLE=Pierce's Pass Carpark:geo:-33.565586,150.344681 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
