The test included walking for two days along the Great North Walk from Wollombi to Glenworth Valley – camping overnight under the Mooney Mooney Bridge followed by a day of horse riding and for the final day, kayaking down to the Hawkesbury River Bridge, exhausted but very happy with their achievements. The treks were organised through Glenworth Valley whose staff commented that they were a “fantastic” group.
