The next stage of the Adelaide100^® trail progresses

Walking SA is currently engaged in negotiating with fourteen property stakeholders along the 100 plus km route of the new walking trail the Adelaide100.

Map of the proposed Adelaide100^® trail route

For the most part the trail will link up existing trails to form a circuit. Much of the route can be walked, albeit without the trail being marked as such, and without detailed local maps.

Interest in the Adelaide100^® Grows

In April, the Adelaide100 was enthusiastically tested by Board members Alan Bundy, Ian Budenberg and me, and Rosie Budenberg. The Adelaide100 is a local long distance loop walk of over 100 kilometres. The Adelaide100 takes in the metropolitan sea front, the Adelaide Hills, and the River Torrens Linear Park. The best parts of nine parks feature. Extensive panoramic views and intimate remote bush settings are special.
