Visions of Lilyvale and the Solitary side of Narrowneck come vividly to mind; and believe me, the leeches along the Williams River are really vicious. It's still a beaut spot though (find out by going on Ramon U'Brien's trip there at Easter).

However to be chronologically tidy, we started with the Gourmet weekend at Macarthur's Flat on the Nattai under the supervision of Julie Frost & Peter Franks - with nine people and an agreeably leisurely weekend.

+Well, it's good to see the names of Don Finch and Doone Wyborn so much on this programme, and they certainly have some interesting trips lined up. This weekend walk is out west towards Rylestone, Pat Harrison's favourite hideout. The area offers a lot of exploration, and it sounds as if Don and Doone will be doing their share of this. The trip is a test walk of about 25 miles and the country could be rough going in some places as the tracks are few.

The walk is on the easy side of medium and should be very enjoyable.
+If you would prefer a somewhat less adventuresome walk, with scenery to equal any, try Bob Younger's trip over Mount SolIitary in the Jamison Valley. This is a test walk, leaving Sydney on Saturday morning.
-If you would like some easy day walks from base camps, David Cotton will oblige by showing you the Tarrumbungle and Mt. Kaputar National Parks.
