Stanley loop walk Grade 2-3, 5kms

 Meet at 0930 outside Stanley Pub  6-12 Myrtleford Stanley Rd. Stanley. Toilets opposite behind Stanley Athenaeum

The Stanley loop walk that we are doing is 5km long. There are a few short steep sections. We will be walking along Ritchies Track which is a bit rough in places so sturdy shoes are recommended. We will be walking from the Stanley Pub to Rosengren Lane, up Rosengren Lane to Ritchies track, along Ritchies Track to Six Mile Road and then finishing up at Spring Ditch Reserve where there is a beautiful Firefighters Memorial sculpture. We will have morning tea there or we can go to a nearby cafe, depending on the weather.
