19 September 2021 Distance 18.5 km Sneaky Sunday solo run to fill in the last gap in the section of the trail between Tanunda and Burra. This would also complete the trail from the southern starting point at Cape Jervis to a point north of Spalding. This plus the 50 km of the trail inContinue reading “Heysen Tral Adventure Day 29: Tothill Gap to Busch Road”

Heysen Trail Adventure Day 28: Busch Road to Marrabel
29 August 2021 Distance 22.7 km After 3 days of glorious weather, the morning dawned misty and cold. Not unexpected really as it was still winter, although spring was on the horizon. Still we hauled out the warmer gear, including gloves. Fortunately it didn’t rain. Today I was lucky to have Andrew for company –Continue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 28: Busch Road to Marrabel”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 27: Kapunda to Tanunda
28 August 2021 Distance: 29 km After my foolishness yesterday, I was fortunate to be joined that evening by my husband Andrew for the weekend, and he kindly dropped me off at Kapunda to start my run. He was off to enjoy a ride around the Barossa and we planned to meet later for aContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 27: Kapunda to Tanunda”
Heysen Trail Adventure: Day 26 Corryton Park Road to Tanunda
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”
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”
