June forest ride – Cromer, Mt Crawford Forrest – Sunday 16 June 2013

Host:  Ruth Naismith      Mobile  0427808421       Arrive 8.30am> for 9.30am ride out

Ride description: This ride from Cromers will encompass the Cromer, Mount Pleasant, Goat Farm & Big Flat areas of the Mt Crawford forest.  Weather permitting we'll be able to see a magnificent view from the summit of Mt Pleasant.  I envisage riding for about 3-4 hours returning to the floats for lunch.  Trotting & cantering can be done where tracks / conditions permit and there will be water crossings (assuming we have rain between now and then). It's got a few steep bits but nothing serious.  Please ensure you are ready to ride out at 9.30am.

Directions:  From Warren Road (Williamstown to Birdwood Road) – turn into Cricks Mill Road (travel approx 4.1 km) – the turn off to the Cromer Road is on the left 500 m past Starkey Road. 

From Mount Pleasant / Keyneton Road turn into Williamstown Road (which turns into Cricks Mill Road at Cromer Road) – travel approx 5 km – the entry to Cromer Road will be on your right hand side – signs will be out – if you get to Starkey Road you’ve gone too far.

At Cromer Road (there is a sign to the Mt Pleasant Summit) - once over the cattle grid and in the gate – turn left and follow road around to the car park.
