St Valentines Peak

Tue 04 Aug, 2009 2:56 pm

Just wondering if anyone had climbed St Valentines Peak near Hampshire? Is it worth the trip? And how would the walk be rated from easy to difficult? I presume it would be aroun 3 - 4hrs return by looking at the distance on google maps

That having been said, there is a creek crossing that might be a bit difficult (or impossible) in Winter. Of course there is a steep bit too. There are some notes on the Wiki.

The Peak itself is a long ridgeback and when Gunns aren't lighting fires there should be a 360 degree view. :D

Cheers for the information guys. I've driven past there a few times and thought you would get a fairly good view from up there. Will definitely give it a go in the coming months hopefully
