HIKEFit will meet at the beginning of Davidson Trail in Davidson at 7 am. We first descend into Garigal National Park via a very Steep Path. (poles are recommended).
We have done this hike several times, however we have found a new way out of the park. This is a beautiful loop track that allows us a Snack stop half way through our Hike at The Cascades.
We then head up a steep bush track, which is also an unknown Mountain bike track, to a management trail, and at one end has the most magnificent views of Sydney.
From here we descend back into the park via a mystery bush trail, this takes us back to Davidson trail, where we head up that magnificent hill to our cars.
