Doug and I went out to walk Doug’s dog at short notice yesterday evening, and managed to sneak in two trigs while we were at it. A nice walk, although it took longer than I expected it to, with our average speed only being about 3.5 kilometers an hour. I wonder how much of that…

Harcourt and Rogers Trigs
I needed to visit someone in deepest darkest North Canberra yesterday, and there was an hour to kill between that meeting and the local Linux User’s Group meeting. It seemed silly to have driven all that way and to not see a couple of trigs, so I visited these two. Both these trigs were easy…
Another lunch time walk
My arm still hurts, so no gym again. Instead, another lunch time walk although this one was shorter. The skies were dramatic, but no rain unfortunately. I found GC1DEFB during this walk. This walk appears in Walking Canberra by Graeme Barrow although I found it separately. The description in the book is accurate and helpful…
Lunchtime geocaching
Woke up this morning with a sore left arm, which ruled out going to the gym. Instead, I decided to go for a geocaching walk at lunch time. I found these caches: GC235FM; GC56N78; GC5B9WT; GC5F6G3; and GC5F0PE. A nice walk. This walk appears in Walking Canberra by Graeme Barrow although I found it separately….
Taylor Trig
At the top of Mount Taylor lies the first trig point defeated by a group walk I’ve been on. Steve * 3, Erin, Michael *2, Andrew, Cadell, Maddie, Mel, Neill and Jenny all made it to the top of this one, so I’m super proud of us as a group. A nice walk and Mount…
A quick walk to William Farrer’s grave
This was a Canberra Bushwalking Club walk lead by John Evans. Not very long, but I would never have found this site without John’s leadership, so much appreciated.
Wanniassa Trig
I walked up to Wanniassa Trig this afternoon. It was a nice walk, the nature park is in the middle of suburban Canberra, but you couldn’t tell that from within much of the park. The nature park also has excellently marked fire trails. There were really cool thunderstorms on the ranges as I walked, whilst…
Urambi Trig
Another day, another trig. This time with Doug, who got to play with his new radio at the top of the hill.
A quick walk to Tuggeranong Trig
This one was a super quick walk on the way to the hardware store. As well as the trig point, there was a defunct radio repeater at the top of the hill — I believe this one was for the old analog Police radio network.
A walk around Mount Stranger
This is a walk around another hill a short drive from my house. The track was less well defined this time, so more bush bashing. There were these star pickets with white caps along the way which marked a join between two fire trails — I think they indicate where fire trucks should go if…
