Start at the corner of Mount Skanzi Road and Tallowa Dam Road. Head down the bitumen road towards Tallowa Dam.
This road undulates down to a popular swimming and water sports spot. Look out for traffic...while the road is not heavily used, it can be busy in summer and over holidays.
Approximately 10km down the road, take Duffy's Lane, a dirt 4WD track off to the left. This starts a long undulating farm access road back towards your start point.
Take Mount Skanzi Road on your left and head up the hill to the saddle and back down the steeper descent to the start point.
