Off the beaten track in the Marramarra National Park, Smugglers Ridge offers scenic views down into the Marramarra creek, a tributry of Berowra Creek.  

First part of the walk is along a fire trail which is easy walking but does have a steep section at the end where we drop into the valley.  We will break for lunch at the campground before the climb back up along a pleasant bush track to the start. 

No public transport so we will need to carpool. We will met at Pennant Hills Station and it is a 30 min drive from there.  Last part of the road is a little bumpy so prefer to have cars with good clearance. 

As always, please provide your membership number, mobile and advise if you will be driving.  

The Bob Turner track affords easy access to the Colo River on a  well maintained track. From the Colo though we will follow the river upstream to Mailes cave. This section is all off track, but will have sections of foot pads along the way.

This will be a good opertunity to experience the Colo River gorge as well as some interesting rock hopping and bush scrambling.

The walk is a short distance from Gosford railway station on urban streets, then a mixture of bush tracks and fire trails.
