Walk Description

Distance: 14 kms

Hoping you will join for an easy, cruisey walk along the Domino Rail Trail from Lyonville to Trentham. A refreshing drink and dinner at Trentham’s Cosmopolitan Hotel, and then a cruisey, easy walk back to Lyonville.  Bring torches – we will finish up after dark.

We start from Lyonville at 4 pm. Departure will be on time – I do not wait for latecomers!
