SUMMARY:Saturday BL - Mount Banks day hike [beginner]
DESCRIPTION:Are you a fan of clifftop walking\, native Australian flora\, a
 nd sweeping views of the Grose Valley? Join Patrick and I (Campbell) for a
  12km hike up and around Mount Banks.\nThe trail begins with a few kilomet
 res of fire trail around the base of Mount Banks\, an area which is still 
 recovering from the 2020 bushfires. At the end of the fire trail\, we'll c
 ome to the northern rim of the Grose Valley and be rewarded with unbeaten 
 views down to the river. We'll then climb up to the summit of Mount Banks 
 from the south\, passing the trig station at the top\, and down some steep
  stairs. On the northern end of Mount Banks are some incredible sandstone 
 formations and many more fantastic vantage points just off the trail.\nIn 
 total\, the walk will be 12km long with 400m elevation gain\, and I expect
  it to take 4-5 hours. We should be done before 4pm and back to camp well 
 before the sunset at 7pm.\nParts of this walk are fairly exposed\, so plea
 se pack your hat and sunscreen. Make sure you're prepared for all weather 
 conditions\, including rain &amp\; cold (please read the packing list). Lo
 ng pants are recommended to defend against ticks and scratchy plants. Whil
 e this is a beginner trip\, you can expect some steep-ish sections and rou
 gh ground. Bring your adventurous spirit :)\nThe plan is to carpool from C
 athedral Reserve to the Mount Banks carpark\, leaving at 9am. I'll create 
 a Facebook Messenger group chat to communicate our campsite meeting time/p
 lace before everyone arrives. Please note there is NO SIGNAL at Cathedral 
 Reserve\, so you need to check your messages BEFORE you arrive!\n\n\n\nPac
