Hike Coach : Nicola
In today’s Hike, we will explore the Manly coastal walk, but from a different angle. We will start in Clontarf with a steep set of stairs, pop into Castle rock beach and then pass through, what I think, is the best part of the Manly walk.
Then find our way through bushland to these amazing Squatters Cottages. For the adventurous, if the tide is out, we might try and venture down the rocks while others explore the cottages.
Depending upon time and availability, we may visit the Grotto Lighthouse and find Washway beach and cliffs.

Today, we descend into Garigal National Park and follow Carrol Creek until we join the Governor Phillip Track. We then tread through lovely open forest on a gently undulating trail until we reach our mountain.
Our challenges today are to watch our feet along the river crossings and to ascend the steep hills that bookend today’s walk. This piece of bush land is my personal favourite as I have seen turtles, wallabies, various birds including a powerful owl while doing this walk.

Chasing Waterfalls, Mt Kuring-Gai
Saturday 7th November 7am
HIKECOACH : Sonia
This is a brand new hike added to the program, along a stunning stretch of the Berowra Valley.
As we start and end at different points, we will need to do some car shuffling at the beginning.
We will leave several cars at Harwood Ave, Mt Kuringgai for our return. However, the hike starts at Berowra Train station at 7am.
We start with a nice 200m descent to the Cowan Creek. It’s a switch back decline, so it’s easy to manage. We stay on the water’s edge for most of the hike, pass many waterfalls, some old ruins and beautiful water views. As we approach the 8km mark there are two trails to lead up home. The normal marked route, or a little further up we find a pipeline trail, only found by a few.
It’s here we scramble all the way to the top. This is the Steep 200 m climb back up to the top. Once we reach the top, we cool down with a 1km management trail flat walk back to the car.
It’s a round trip, approx. 11km, Level 12
