A day of two seasons – a cold and misty start eventually gave way to sunshine. I really enjoyed running this section, not least because it meant I had reached the Barossa wine district.
Warren Conservation Park starts with a couple of shortish climbs before a descent into a valley and then a longer climb around 2.5 km long up to a fire lookout tower. The trail then drops down again and goes along unsealed access roads through a section of Mt Crawford forest (a cultivated pine forest) up to the top of Mt Crawford. After that, the trail joins a dirt road up and over Wirra Wirra peaks (not anywhere as daunting as it sounds), through Kay Gully and then over Trial Hill (again not too steep) before joining Corryton Road (unsealed).
