Thirteen walkers enjoyed a gorgeous sunny winter morning on the Lattas Road Walk.

The walk is basically from Princes Highway utilising dirt roads along the ridges and down to the oyster beds on the Clyde River.

The challenging part was negotiating along the river bed winding our way through slippery rocks, mangroves and logs and rubbish washed up from the tides. And yeah, hiking boots may have got a bit messy! A little bit of bushbashing brought us back on track.

And of course, what goes down, must go up eventually and that’s what we did. Up up and up back along the dirt roads to the cars with lovely views across to the mountains and down to Batemans Bay.

All in all a very pleasant 10.5km walk for a sunny winter morning.
