Mixed naturist bushwalk near Lancefield, optional BBQ & overnight

Sat, 2 Apr 2022
02 Apr 2022 10:00
03 Apr 2022 16:00

A naturist walk of medium difficulty through two farms in the spectacular granite boulder country north of Lancefield. A picturesque creek, some untouched forest and great views from two of the nearby rocky hills. This walk will be a different route from what we've done before. 

To relax after the event we are endeavouring to hire a spa. (To cover the cost for this we have needed to raise the cost of some of the tickets for this event. We hope you like it and that it is worthwhile.)

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Medium 6 km naturist circuit walk. There is some easy walking through grassy paddocks, but a bit more effort will be required to walk up the farm hills for a view. We will also pass through an open forest and down a 4WD track for great views of the farmland below.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:

  • SATURDAY WALK: This walk is for naturists. We will meet and unload the cars at the overnight farmhouse anytime between 10am and 10:30am. Hot drinks and nibbles will be available until 11am. We will then take some of the cars 3 km to a neighbouring property. From there we plan to get ourselves comfortably unattired and start our walk through the deserted open paddocks and over to some hills for the views. We will then circle around through the boulder-strewn forest and down a 4WD track for inspiring views of the valley below. Lunch will be eaten at a good spot along the way when we get hungry. If the day is hot we can have a nude swim in a farm dam or a waterhole in Mollison Creek. Following this we plan to head back to the overnight farmhouse for drinks and snacks at around 4pm. The spa should be operating by then with the BBQ to follow around 6pm.
  • OVERNIGHT: Optional evening BBQ, overnight, breakfast and lunch at the farmhouse. After the walk we have been invited back for further naturist socialising at the very comfortable farmhouse with its great open fire.
  • SLEEPING: For those staying overnight, there are two made-up queen size beds. Other people can sleep on the carpeted floor in the library or the lounge room - please BYO sleeping bag, sleeping mat/lilo, pillow etc. There is one spare doona, a few sleeping bags and a couple of spare foam sleeping mats at the property. Or if you like, you can put up your tent on the back lawn. There is also room for campervans etc.
  • BBQ: BYO meat and drinks. Basic salads and bread will be supplied. A few desserts and other snacks would be appreciated.
  • TOWELS: Please BYO towels for sitting on and for a shower.
  • BREAKFAST: Breakfast is supplied, including eggs and bacon, and for Sunday lunch there are always plenty of leftovers from the night before.
  • OTHER OPTIONS: For those who would like to have a look around the very picturesque scenery at the overnight farm on the Sunday morning, we plan to do a short naturist walk of about 1.5 to 2 hours along Mollison Creek, or to the gorge, or to the host's back paddocks. This will be followed by lunch to eat up the spare food.

BOOKING: By Wednesday 30th March. To register, click on Get Tickets. One ticket covers all activities you may wish to participate in - walk, BBQ and/or overnight.

Please state what accommodation you would like - bed, floor, tent or campervan. Please also include a contact phone number.
  • Sleeping places in the house are limited to 18.
  • The number of people attending the event is limited to 23 so that we can all sit down to eat inside the house.

MEETING TIME | LOCATION: Any time between 10am and 10.30am at a farmhouse 15 km north of Lancefield. The exact address will be sent to those who have purchased a ticket by 10am on Thursday 31st March. We plan to drive 3 km to the start of the walk at about 11am.

Tea, coffee and snacks will be provided at the farmhouse. If you'd like egg and bacon sandwiches/rolls and a latte etc beforehand, the best place to get these would be from a cafe in the towns of Romsey or Lancefield.
