Ride Details

VENUE:           Travelling from
Ballarat through Creswick turn left towards Daylesford at the Newlyn roundabout
(at the Primary School), travel about 600 metres and turn left into Forrest
Hill Road just past the old Newlyn Pub.  Turn
left into the paddock on the left immediately past the Pub back fence, (50
metres from the corner before Ryans Lane). 
There is room to turn floats around in the paddock.  Not gooseneck friendly.

 

If
coming from Daylesford, go slow over Newlyn bridge and turn right into Forest
Hill Road.

 

Unfortunately, there is no toilet or water, BYO water for
horses.

 

RIDE:   The ride will obviously
take in completely new tracks, but it will take us to the Kingston Pub for a
sit-down lunch, so bring your wallet.

 

Please arrive as early
as you can because the ride out will be at 10.00 am sharp.  Horseless
Muster just prior to ride out.
