Please expect the distance to be about 4-5km and about 2 hours. The hike up the hill is strenuous and would not be suitable for individuals who are not used to climbing up hill. You are welcome to join us from the parking area at Quarry Rd at the entrance to Beamer Conservation Area, if you prefer. This will bypass the climb up the hill.
