WALK: CANCELLED Mt Matheson and Pholis Gap, Mt Nardi 7km Grade 3

Click here for the meeting spot at The Channon Hotel, ready to depart at 8:15am by carpool to Mt Nardi.

This is the link to the walk on AllTrails, bearing in mind the variation outlined below.

We will park at the main carpark on Mt. Nardi, then head out onto the lush and beautiful NIghtcap Historic Track to reach the 2 side tracks. First we find Pholis Gap trail. This is a 2km return trail (the loop is too overgrown). This trail steepens over the ridge to the northern face of Mt. Nardi. There are about 4 sets of steps which are littered with beautiful native flowers. The Gap is a small lookout area amongst some majestic gums that seem to hang off the edges into the Kunghur/Uki valley below (see the event photo taken from the Gap).

We then turn back and ascend those steps to return to the more lush rainforest on the ridge. 

A short distance through the forest and we take Mt. Matheson Track. This is a longer, but more gentle track. The track ascends slowly through a valley of Zanthoria and another view through the tall trees of the Uki Valley. This is a good place to stop, pause and have our morning tea. 

The Mt. Matheson Track gently winds back up to the Historic Nightcap Track where we turn back. Here we will endeavour to allow ourselves a silent walk back through this ancient rainforest back to the carpark. 

Please bring morning tea, raincoats, repellents, sunscreen, although the forest is quite dense, as well as good walking shoes/boots as the tracks can be soggy if wet. On our return to The Channon, you may like to have lunch at the pub. 

Limit 15. There is NO waitlist for this event. There is a waitlist for the same walk on 16th March.
