Walk Details

As part of preparation to walk the GPT end to end (E2E), this is the first of three training walks. These will give participants a foretaste of the level of fitness and walk pace required to walk the entire GPT as day walks.

This walk will include two peaks that will not be included in the GPT E2E walks (due to time constraints). Mt Zero is the most northerly peak of the Grampians NP and involves rock scrambles but rewarding views at the top.  Mt Stapylton is a side walk off the GPT and involves some rock scrambling. To reach the summit will need a good head for heights and will depend on weather conditions. Walkers can elect to skip this last short ascent.
