Pyramid Trek Event Cache

The second organised Event to encourage cachers to explore some of the more challenging and less frequently visited local walking tracks.

When:  Sunday 27^th July 2014

Where:    Departing from the Walsh’s Pyramid carpark.  Walsh’s Pyramid is located a few kilometres south of Gordonvale.  Heading South from Gordonvale along the Bruce Highway you will turn right into Moss Road (turn off co-ordinates provided).  Proceed a short distance along Moss Road before turning left into the sign posted carpark.   

Time:  5:45am arrival at the Walsh’s Pyramid carpark.  The departure time from the carpark will be 6:00am sharp.  This will enable a more leisurely walk with plenty of rest stops and photo opportunities before we arrive at the summit for an Event planned for 10:00am.  The return walk is along the same path (but downhill all the way) and I would anticipate being back at the carpark by midday.

What to wear/bring: 
Sturdy walking boots – are essential.  Definitely NO flimsy footwear for this Event.
Cap or Hat - as all Event participants are sun smart.
Drinking water – you will develop a hard earned thirst.
Optional Extras - Writing implement / Hiking Pole / Camera

Parking:
Plenty of free parking is available at the Walsh’s Pyramid carpark area.

What to Expect:  The walk is predominantly uphill, rising to the summit which is 922m above sea level.  The path to the top is generally well formed, although some shorter sections require a climb up over some rocks.  Walterhellmut, a local cacher who knows the path well will be our guide.
