CANCELLED due to illness of Farmhouse Host - Mixed Clothing Optional Bushwalk near Lancefield with optional BBQ & overnight

Sat, 14 May 2022
14 May 2022 10:00
15 May 2022 16:00

This event has unfortunately had to be CANCELLED due to the illness of the farm host, Colin. Colin was treated in hospital last week and is now in rehabilitation. However we expect that it will take longer than two weeks for him to fully recover and be able to host another event at his house, whch we've all very much enjoyed in the past. All the best Colin, we'll look forward to seeing again you later in the year.

Email notification and refunds will be sent to all those who have already booked for this event.

___________________________________________

An almost clothing optional walk of medium difficulty through a neighbouring farm in the spectacular granite boulder country north of Lancefield. Wonderful views from some of the highest hills around. With the walk being in May you will probably want to wear some clothes. You will need to wear at least your shorts as the farm owner, and his daughter who rides around on her motorbike, are non-naturist.

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

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Medium 6 km circuit walk (wearing at least your shorts). Much of the walking will be along faint vehicle tracks through the paddocks with some moderate climbs to get to the top of the hills for the views.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:

  • SATURDAY WALK: This walk is designed to get to some of the best views in the district which are on a neighbouring farm near the overnight farm. We will meet and unload the cars at the overnight farmhouse anytime between 10am and 10.45am. Hot drinks and nibbles will be available until 11am. We will then take some of the cars about 3 km to a neighbouring property. From there we will start our walk through the open paddocks and over to some of the higher hills for the great views. Coming down off the hills will be very easy as it is a pleasant descent. Lunch will be eaten at a good viewing and sheltered spot along the way when we get hungry. After the walk we plan to head back to the overnight farmhouse for drinks and snacks at around 4pm. Later we can enjoy the spa and open fire and later can prepare for the evening BBQ at around 6pm.
  • OVERNIGHT: After the BBQ we have been invited for an evening of socialising at the very comfortable farmhouse with its great open fire and now, a spa. This is followed by an overnight sleep, cooked breakfast and lunch at the farmhouse. .
  • 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 and blow up air mattresses 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, for a shower and to put on the massage table if you'd like one.
  • 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 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. Our host is happy for a few people to stay on until Monday as well - just let him know.

BOOKING: By Wednesday 11th May. To register, click on Get Tickets. Choose the ticket that covers the activities you wish to participate in - walk, spa, BBQ and/or overnight.  

  • RSVP FOR OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATION: If you wish to stay overnight, you will need to SEND AN EMAIL to Colin, our farmhouse host, on LeaderColinP.thenomadsinc@mail.tidyhq.com to book your accommodation. 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 staying for the BBQ is lmited to 24 so that we can all sit down to eat inside the house.
  • There is no limit on tents and campervans.

The increased cost for some tickets is to cover the cost of a spa we are endeavouring to hire. If we are unsuccessful, all participants who have paid for the spa will be refunded $20.

MEETING TIME | LOCATION: Any time between 10am and 10.45am 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 12th May. 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.

MAP REFERENCE: Melway map X909/609 grid J7 | Google Map: goo.gl/maps/5tjy71DBz9waYR9a6.

DISTANCE | TIME FROM GPO: 87 km and 1 hour 15 minutes from the GPO. The farm and the town of Lancefield are due north of Tullamarine Airport.

At Sunbury catch the 9am regional bus to Lancefield, arriving 9.33am at the corner of High St and Main Rd. From there we will need to arrange a ride to the farm for you.
