Hike & Hill Training - Spotted Gum and Mahogany Tracks
Mt Coot-tha, Brisbane Queensland - Sat 7th May 2022

Join experienced pack hiker Chris at Mt Coot-tha for a hike training session designed to help get you ready to tackle more difficult terrain and or/longer more difficult hikes.

Chris will be taking you along the Mahogany track and the relatively new Spotted Gum track for this training session - The Spotted Gum Track gets its name from the beautiful Spotted Gums (Corymbia maculata) along the trail, much loved by cockatoos.

This session will include :

• Uneven surface walking
• Pack and pole training and advise as required
• Help learning to use new hiking equipment
• Training for multi day full pack hikes or day hikes

While our main focus will be on working on hike fitness and skills keep an eye out for the local wildlife including plenty of birds, and beautiful lace monitors.

This grading is 3 (Moderate) but please note there is some uneven ground and steps..

If bringing a pack please ensure it has a supportive waist band and we recommend no more than 10kgs of weight for beginners.

tip: bottles of water are a great weight as they're easy to measure 1L =1Kg and if you're finding it too heavy can be tipped out to reduce your weight
