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”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 14: Worlds End to Burra
1 August 2020 With summer approaching, and with it the scheduled trail closure, I decided to ignore the lessons of history and open a second front in the more northern section of the trail. Worlds End was surprisingly close to civilization, however the pancake flat terrain did lend credence to the flat earth theory. 🤣.Continue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 14: Worlds End to Burra”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 13: Marble Hill to Cudlee Creek
19 July 2020 A truly wintery day – cold, wet and windy. Unsurprisingly I did not encounter a single soul on this section of the Adelaide hills, although I did encounter some rather large goats with impressive sets of horns shrouded in mist standing in the middle of the trail. I’m sure I heard “noneContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 13: Marble Hill to Cudlee Creek”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 12: Summertown to Cherryville
28 June 2020 By now I was running in familiar territory in the Adelaide Hills – an area that I cycle in often and a very short drive from the CBD, with the bonus of a slightly later start. It was an absolutely glorious winter day, perfect running weather. I met a fellow trail runnerContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 12: Summertown to Cherryville”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 11: Hahndorf to Summertown
21 June 2020 Following torrential rain overnight, I was relieved when the day dawned cold, but dry. Following the trail from Hahndorf back toward Bridgewater I was unsurprised that the trail was easy to follow and the turn off sign at the point where I went astray, perfectly obvious. Must have been day dreaming yesterdayContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 11: Hahndorf to Summertown”
Heysen Trail Adventure Day 9: Kyeema Conservation Park to Echunga
14 June 2020 By now, I was getting closer to Adelaide, which made logistics a little easier to manage. However with a longer run planned, it was an early and chilly start with threatening clouds, so no surprise to find a deserted car park where the trail entered the park. The bonus of an earlyContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 9: Kyeema Conservation Park to Echunga”
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. As the weather was cold, wet and windy, we decided to save the section along the cliff top between Waitpinga Beach and Newland Hill for a day withContinue reading “Heysen Trail Adventure Day 4: Newland Hill to Inman Valley”
