Thames and Nile Creeks Loop Hike

Four Ramblers enjoyed a lovely 12 km, 4-hour walk in the Thames and Nile creek valleys, finishing just before the rain started.

Some very lovely forest and creek sections, and some relatively large Douglas fir and cedars.

Welcome to Mary on her first Rambler outing.
