Join us on this walk which follows Swaine Creek and Lane Cove River via the Riverside and Great North Walks. The walk is scenic and the pace will be medium. The walk is on a combination of bush tracks and fire trails with a creek crossing or two. If you don't want to do the full walk there are opportunities to drop out midway and walk only 12km.
We will be meeting at 9.10am Chatswood and finish by 3pm.
We will be meeting at Town Hall Station around 10am and walking through the Botanical Gardens around to Barangaroo and onto Central. The pace will be relaxed.
Join me on this long weekend with a morning bike ride around Olympic Park passing along mangroves, aerial golf course and a prison. It would be a good opportunity for those who haven't ridden for a while as the pace will be relaxed and there are minimal road crossings. We will start at West Concord Station and no doubt have lunch at West Concord Hotel. You will need your own bike.
A bushwalk starting with morning tea at a cafe then urban paths to a fire trail on the edge of the bush. This will involve a steep uphill walk to where the fire trail becomes a steep downhill to a bush track. A creek with a smooth, potentially slippery floor, is then crossed. It is then uphill on another bush track, which becomes less steep, on the way to Spion Kop. Spion Kop has great views over Woy Woy Bay, and the station and town of that name are visible in the distance. In English, Spion Kop means Spy Hill and is named after a site in South Africa where the British were attacked by Boer sharpshooters during the Boer War. An outcropping feature close to Spion Kop is named Dragons Head. The return walk follows the same paths, although if time allows, we can walk up the creek to see some aboriginal carvings.
Join Ed and Denise on this loop walk from Bundeena to Marley Beach via Jibbon Head. The walk is on well marked tracks with great coastal views and maybe sighting some aboriginal rock carvings. Some of the walk is on raised boards but it will be worth it. The pace will be relaxed.

There is an iconic 80km coastal walk which is known as Bondi to Manly. Peter is planning to walk the length of the walk and we are invited to join him. You can join him on all stages or one. Stage 1 is Bondi to Rose Bay via Watsons Bay some of which is already familiar to us. We will be following the Federation Cliff Walk which is the track between Bondi and Watsons Bay. Then after reaching Watsons Bay we will continue to Rose Bay via Nielsen Park and Parsley Bay. You can drop out along the way. The pace will be moderate.
Come and join us for a fabulous Persian cuisine at Cinnamon at 12 Llankelly Place, Potts Point. We will meet at Kings Cross Station at 6.20pm for a 6.30pm dinner - a $30 deposit secures your spot.

We will be following the Great North Walk through bushland and mangroves following the Lane Cove River and walking through Buffalo Creek reserve, Boronia Park and Field of Mars Reserve. We will be walking on well marked bush tracks with some board walking and limited street walking.
The main loop walk is 15km long, linking several bushland reserves and parks for you to explore. The walk starts at Greenwich Ferry Wharf on Lane Cove River, taking you along the water's edge to Shell Park and then along a few residential streets to Gore Creek Reserve. From Gore Creek, the walk continues up through the reserve, eventually leading you west to Warraroon Reserve and Tambourine Bay Park. From the bay, the loop walk continues west to Burns Bay, where it heads north through Lovetts Reserve along the Lane Cove River to Blackman Park in Lane Cove West. The loop walk continues north along the Ventemans Track towards Lane Cove North. It then goes under Epping Road to Batten Reserve and Stringybark Creek along the Harry Howard Bushwalk to Stringybark Reserve. From Stringybark Reserve, you will journey along tree-lined residential streets in Lane Cove North to Epping Road. The loop walk then continues south along residential streets to the beautiful Lane Cove Bushland Park, eventually leading back to Gore Creek Reserve. The pace will be brisk.
This is a 5 night challenging multi day 65km bushwalk following the Green Gully track, west of Port Macquarie, in the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park.

You need experience in full backpack bushwalking and have experience in carrying your gear on overnight full backpack bushwalks. This includes the ability to carry your food. The walk will be occasionally challenging with a 900 descent on day 2 and walk along the creek on day 3 and a 600 m ascent on day 4.
