7 June 2020 After slow going on the previous day, I was looking forward to this section of the trail as it promised a more benign profile, with only the somewhat disturbingly named Mt Magnificent to be dealt with. Having combined two days running with a weekend away, I was grateful to be dropped offContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 8: Victor Harbour Road, Mt Compass to Kyeema Conservation Park”

Heysen Trail Adventure Day 6: Myponga to Myponga
I went back to do the section of the trail missed on my last run, which meant a loop starting at Myponga starting at Causeway Road and heading past Heysen’s Rest. It was a lovely day and the views heading toward the Myponga Conservation Park were wonderful. The running was easy until I got toContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 6: Myponga to Myponga”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 4: Newland Hill to Inman Valley
I was delighted to be joined by my husband Andrew for the next section of trail. Not least because his navigation skills are much better than mine.

Heysen Trail Adventure Day 3: Tunk Head Road to Waitpinga Beach

The first section of the trail was along an unsealed road, so a goodContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 3: Tunk Head Road to Waitpinga Beach”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 2: Tent Rock Road to Tunk Head Road
After a night of torrential rain and wind, it was a relief when day 2 dawned clear, if a little on the cool side. Day 2 turned out to be even more challenging than day 1. There was a steep descent into a valley to Deep Creek Waterfall and then some longish climbs up pastContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 2: Tent Rock Road to Tunk Head Road”
Heysen Trail Adventure: Day 1
Cape Jervis to Tent Rock Road With some trepidation I started my odyssey. I did not know how well the trail would be marked and my map reading skills are limited, but I took heart from the fact that the trail followed the coastline along Backstairs Passage and as long as I kept the seaContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure: Day 1”
