The recommend tour leaves ForresPark at around 9.00am, arriving at the piont of vehicular abandonment by about 10am. The climb often takes you into the clouds and through amazing vistas and changing flora. On arrival, take a breath and a look through the mist to the view of the Yallahs and Clyde valleys below and the continuing Blue Mountain range to the North.
Picnic at noon, then stroll for an hour between the temperate and semi tropical flowers and trees. If you look keenly, you will find a vantage point to peer at faraway on the South Coast before wending your way back to your vehicle three quarter sof an hour down the road. This should take you back to Forres Park by four in the afternoon.
