Bush Adventures - fostering curiosity, wonder, and delight in our natural world.
Winter Bike and Hike - Go Wild Go Solo - (10-14 yrs)
Join the team from Mountain Bike Tasmania for an expedition into the wildlands of kunanyi/Mt Wellington. Kids will bike and hike their way to one of Tasmania’s most spectacular waterfalls.
We spend the day cycling through the mixed forest along the Pipeline Track then walking in for lunch atop Wellington Falls.
There’s plenty of time for making new friends, challenging yourself, and the option of some fun side-trips along the way.
Please note that this activity requires previous bike riding experience and a safe and functioning bicycle.
If your child is moderately active this is a very achievable activity and lots of fun.
The ride is approximately 7km each way with the journey back on a very gentle downhill gradient.
The walk is approximately 2km each way.
What you’ll need to bring:
- Your own working bicycle, helmet, and lock.
- Winter-appropriate clothing including a wind/rain jacket. (This includes warm jumpers, gloves and beanies - thermals are highly recommended)
- Sturdy closed shoes (sneakers are fine), a small backpack, 1L water bottle, and lunch/snacks (it’s a big day for most kids, healthy energy food is a MUST).
NOTE: Go Wild Go Solo activities are parent/guardian-free activities - full supervision is provided.
