Plan is to walk from Lake Emily to Lake Heron or reverse with an overnight in either Double Hut or Manuka Hut.  This is something different for our club but it is not a demanding walk.  No big hills or long distances. A good one if you haven’t done an overnighter before.  Some tents may be required as huts are not big. Hopefully two cars so we can swap keys. &lt;br /&gt;

A good one if you haven’t done an overnighter before.  Some tents may be required as huts are not big. Hopefully two cars so we can swap keys.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date:&lt;/strong&gt; Sunday 30th November&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time:&lt;/strong&gt; 8:00 AM    &lt;strong&gt;Meeting Point: &lt;/strong&gt;Medway Street car park for lift sharing&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;or&lt;/b&gt; 8:30 AM at Swallows Track car park &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While servicing the automatic traps in Herbert Forest, I walked the Hoods Creek Track today and was saddened to find it in very poor condition. The track is almost at the point of closure unless urgent work is done to bring it back up to standard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Call to Action&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead of the scheduled &lt;strong&gt;Tabletop tramp&lt;/strong&gt; this Sunday, we are proposing an &lt;strong&gt;emergency working bee&lt;/strong&gt;. This is our chance to restore Hoods Creek Track quickly and effectively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bring snipping and cutting tools (loppers, saws, secateurs, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wear sturdy footwear and bring gardening gloves&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There is a lot to do, and a strong turnout means the jobs can be shared among many hands and can restore it to a safe and enjoyable standard for everyone&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Herbert forest tracks are part of our club’s history and community work&lt;/p&gt;
