Walk Summary
- We immerse ourselves in some b&c heartland in winter. An early start from a wayside stop about 2 km from the resort gate, we take the klingsporn bridle track to thank christ corner and then off track up to McGlaghlins shoulder. Our agenda is not fixed and we will travel to our abilities and weather conditions. If we get to the summit, so be it. We retrace to return home to feast and celebrate our victories.
