Hiking Tails
Adventures on the trail (mostly) with Shanti dog
Leith Hill Loop
Shanti gets an unexpected second adventure for the day on the Leith Hill Loop and Thomas River Track at Castle Hill Village.
Coal Pit Spur Track
The Coal Pit Spur track is an easy walk and great for a dogs-included walk on those tricky, hot summer days when you need shade and water. It’s a shared mountain bike trail so watch out for cyclists.
Camp Saddle to Lyndon Saddle (again)
Liz and I completed this trip about a month earlier when Mirjam and Scruff weren’t available - so we were due for a revisit for a full team tick.
Snow in December
Shanti finds snow on the trip between Camp Saddle and Lyndon Saddle late December - it’s as close as he gets to a white Christmas.
Helicopter Hill (again)
Shanti revisits Helicopter Hill with is mountain dog challenge friends.
No rabbits
Shanti and Scruff explore the route to rabbit hill - and find no rabbits.
Back to Cragieburn
Shanti takes his friends along Sidle 73 and up Helicopter Hill for the mountain dog challenge
My first mountain adventure
Shanti goes camping for the first time. He’s not overjoyed by the idea of sharing his space in the back of the car with his Mum but discovers some perks exploring mountain trails.
