27 August 2021 Distance: 25.1 km After a long run yesterday, I planned a shorter 20 km run heading north from Corryton Park Road to Tanunda for day 2 of my multi day run. As the next few days running were closer to Tanunda, I left the caravan park at Kapunda and moved base toContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure: Day 26 Corryton Park Road to Tanunda”

Heysen Trail Adventure Day 25: Marrabel to Kapunda
26 August 2021 Distance 45.5 km After finishing up toward the end of 2020, I had a long break from the trail. I did train for a multitude of other events, most of which were cancelled or deferred – thanks so much COVID. Not. One of those events was Run Larapinta – a four stageContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 25: Marrabel to Kapunda”
Noosa Ultra Trail
26 March 2022 Quick trip to Queensland to take on the 50km trail run as part of the inaugural Noosa Ultra Trail event. Options included runs of 25km, 30km, 80km and 100km. The 50 km was an out and back course which made logistics easy. The event was extremely well run, from registration through toContinue reading “Noosa Ultra Trail”
Sneaky Heysen Trail run: Hubert 100 race, Flinders Ranges
10 May 2021 Hallelujah! A race at last. I ran the 50 km option of the final running of the Hubert 100 event which was based in Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges. An added bonus was clicking off some more of the Heysen Trail as it formed the majority of the 50 km raceContinue reading “Sneaky Heysen Trail run: Hubert 100 race, Flinders Ranges”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 23: Wheal Rd Aquaduct to Spalding.
27 September 2020 Although we had to leave Spalding that day to head home, there was time for one last run. Due to time constraints I chose to start north of Spalding and head back toward the town. This meant a shorter commute to the drop off point and no need for a pick up.Continue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 23: Wheal Rd Aquaduct to Spalding.”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 22: Dust Hole Creek Road to Tin Hut Corner Road
26 September 2020 The weather at this time of year can be quite changeable so it is best to pack for all conditions. The mid north of South Australia is semi arid with cold nights and warmer days during spring so layering is key. After an extremely cold night (down to 0 degrees Celsius), theContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 22: Dust Hole Creek Road to Tin Hut Corner Road”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 21: Olives Road to Spalding
26 September 2020 A day of sun, wind and hail. We based ourselves at Spalding in the North Mt Lofty Ranges to spend a few days on adjacent trail sections. There are limited accommodation options in this area so its best to book ahead. Arriving around lunch time, I decided to kickstart the weekend withContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 21: Olives Road to Spalding”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 20: Dust Hole Creek Road to Dust Hole Creek Road
14 September 2020 Fortunately not running in a circle – which could easily happen with my navigation skills – we traversed through a semi arid landscape to meet up again with Dust Hole Creek Road. I was happy to be running with Andrew for company again in this barren landscape. The scenery through here isContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 20: Dust Hole Creek Road to Dust Hole Creek Road”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 19: Wandillah Road to Dust Hole Creek Road
12 September 2020 Starting back at Wandillah Road and heading north this time, I was joined by my husband for this run with our daughter providing drop off and pick up services. It was another sunny day with a cool morning and no wind – perfect running conditions. After a very short run along theContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 19: Wandillah Road to Dust Hole Creek Road”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 18: Wandillah Road to Burra
11 September 2020 We headed back to Burra to tackle some more of the northern part of the trail. And found there was still a good deal to explore in Burra in our down time. Its well worth a visit. First I started on Wandillah Road and ran south to Burra. I say ran, butContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 18: Wandillah Road to Burra”
