This is a 13 KM hike, and I'm told it is rather hilly, although there are no real hills !!! In fact, we have an elevation gain of 600m.
We will traverse several creeks, so waterproof shoes are essential. Poles will also help you manage your endurance. We will walk from Killara to North Epping and back, all in the Lane Cove National park.

Kuringgai Wildflower Garden, St Ives
Sunday 29th November 7am
HIKEFit Coach: Sonia
HIKEFit will walk around the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Gardens.
The beauty of this hike is you hike following different paths with various difficulties and you can stop at any point if you've had enough hills :) For those who want that little extra, I can add plenty of tough hills. I will choose the path difficulty depending upon who signs up :)
Don’t be fooled by the surroundings as it is not a TYPICAL Garden. We are going to do plenty of different loops in this hike. Your hikes might be 5 km, 7 km or even 9 km ... depending on when you feel like you've had enough, allow 2.5hours for the Hike and stretching.
