Ridgeway

 Ridgeway

A cool overcast day for this walk, around Ridgeway Park, with a couple of hills.

We met at Ridgeway and headed down the road past the reservoir.

The first uphill section

A wee detour through the bush...

...to meet up with the non detourers

Lolly break

Up - again

and down - again.

Down to the road

Across the road and up the other side

To emerge near Chimney Pot Hill Road 

What a man! Or What? A man?

Chimney Pot Hill Road

There were 10 Ramblers, lunch was at Fern Tree Tavern, and spectacular!

Potters Hill Labyrinth

 Potters Hill Labyrinth 

from Blessington Track

There is access to the beach from near the end of Blessington Street, from there we headed east along Pot Bay beaches.

Over the headland

Lolly Break

 

Yay!

Onto the second beach to see the Iron Pot lighthouse with surf breaking around it.

Time to reverse direction and head back for Potters Hill

That is Potters Hill

The start of the track linking Blessington Street and Mount Direction Road.

Looking back to Dennes Point on Bruny Is.

On Mount Direction road we walked beside the road and then up onto Potters Hill.

The Labyrinth

Some views from Potters Hill

Betsey Island looks much bigger from this angle

Lunch with the musical shakuhachi background
