Lane Cove River Loop, Lanecove
Saturday 27th June 7 am

HIKEFit Coach: Nicola

We are doing the full loop of the Lane Cove River. In total 11.5KM, although, I think this is a flat hike, Strava and hikers have told it has plenty of undulation; so don't take this as an easy walk, when we hike it will challenge you.

Allow around 3 hours for the Hike and stretching.

We will meet near the boat ramp, on Brothers Ave, Cammeray. Nicola will lead you through the hidden gems of Cammeray, Northbridge and Willoughby. We will find plenty of bush steps to get your heart rate up , then head under the majestic Long Gully sandstone bridge to Flat Rock Gully. We traverse back a similar way, but before hopping in our cars, we find more hidden steps and hike around the waters edge. I have often done over 1000 hill steps on this hike, but that's when I am in training. Today, everything is optional :)

Heritage Views, RoseBay
Monday 6th July 7am

HIKEFit Coach: Nicola

Its time we headed SouthEast , this urban walk will find many hidden trails through the bush .
Most of the national parks are on the north shore, so we don't hike much on the south, but today Nicola has some great vista for you starting at Rose bay Wharf.
In this location your coach can personalise the difficulty of the experience for individuals within the group. Venture to the East and go somewhere new. Trail shoes are preferred to boots in this location but either can be worn.

Harbour Wonders, Lavender Bay
Tuesday 7th July 7:15 am

Hike Coach : Nicola

Starting from Lavender Bay we will explore the harbour front. Lavender Park has some tough stairs and ramps that we might use but there is also access to the foreshore trails and the Harbour Bridge which we can hike over to explore Barangaroo or the Botanical Gardens.

Hikes starting from here will be somewhat urban but this is great for a change. Every walk from here will be a little different. Sometimes we will go for distance and pace it out over the bridge to explore Barangaroo or the Botanical Gardens.

At other times we will do lots of secret trails and stairs while exploring the areas around Millers Point and Sawmillers Reserve which are close to Lavender Bay.

Allow 2 hours for the hike. Distance will vary from 7.5 to about 9 km depending on the route selected by your coach.
