Tanglefoot Track (Toolangi) | Day Hike

A beautiful walk today in the thick forests of northern Melbourne.

Get out the winter woolies or the summer hat as this is an all year round. We’ve had hot sweaty days and beautiful walks with a dusting of snow, so be prepared for the weather on your day out. This long narrow loop heads up towards Mt St Leonard and the skirts all the way back on another track but not very far away from where you were! Bypassing the actual Mt Tanglefoot, we’ll have lunch and then set off for the remainder of the loop amongst the tall trees and low ferns.

A very constant gradient today so if you like walking without the big ups and downs then you’ll be excited by this day!

So join our experienced staff for a fully guided, enjoyable and social day out exploring some wonderful areas.

Come along on your own, or bring a friend or family member. It doesn’t matter who you are, we want to encourage more people to get out, make new friends, and have the opportunity to connect with nature, enjoy good conversation and feel fit and healthy. We have walkers of all ages, from the 70’s all the way down to kids. Our experienced and encouraging staff lead your walk with understanding and enthusiasm, so come along and feel safe, supported. You will get to visit a range of hiking locations within an hour of Melbourne. There is no better time to treat yourself to a day in nature, connecting with new friends and feeling amazing!

Grade 3 Hike

Grading of Hikes

• Grade 2 – Beginner | Generally compacted trail, limited steady inclines or moderate well defined steps. Low to moderate fitness needed. No technical or difficult sections, loose or steep terrain. Runners or light footwear with grip are generally suitable. Walks are generally 8 – 13kms in length for a day walk.
• Grade 3 – Kinda Fit | This is where most people seem to fit in. Grade 3 walks have some short to moderate hill sections, man made or natural stairs or uneven surfaces. There are occasional steep or sustained hills. You will need moderate fitness and be able to walk for a number of hours on undulating terrain. Some grade 3 walks have loose gravel, or sections of sand and other small technical sections that require mobility, particularly during winter when trails may get muddy. Runners or trail shoes are generally suitable footwear. Walks generally range from 12-18km each day.
• Grade 4 – Pretty Fit | Grade 4 tracks will be longer overall, and have longer uphill sections, more uneven and rough terrain. There may be undefined stairs, rocks or slippery surfaces. You will need general to good fitness. There are sometimes technical sections like a creek crossing or some off-trail walking. Trail shoes are now preferred as runners lack grip and support. Walks generally range from 15-22km each day.
• Grade 5 – Ready for a challenge | Here we go… these walks are for people who have high fitness levels, are mobile and can be on the go all day. These walks often include uneven, steep tracks where scrambling may be needed. The walks are longer and may include frequent technical sections such as chains, ladders, rocks, deep sand, loose rocks, snow, or short cliff sections. Careful navigation may be required by your guide and some off-track walking may be required at times. These walks may also be in inclement weather such as snow or heat. Good trail shoes with very good grip are required. Your day pack may also be slightly heavier with extra layers of clothing and water. Walks range from 15km up to 25km per day.
