HIKEFit Coach: Sonia
HIKEFit will meet at the end of Blaxland Road, Killara. Today's hike is all about Distance, in total 13.5KM. If you are interested in a long Hike, today's program is just for you.
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.
Allow just over 3 hours for the Hike and stretching.

Tuesday 8th September 7:15 am
Hike Coach : Nicola
Today's HIKEFit program explores parts of Castle Cove… Although it feels like a flat walk, there are some good ups and downs. You can complete 8 km or the full 11 km and get around 400m in elevation.
We will start at the steps heading into Scotts Creek. After passing the creek, we find a management for about 500 metres. Then we are back into the bush heading to FigTree Cove via the North Arm walking track.
Don't forget to stop and take in the spectacular water views. This is an out and back track. After we return to the cars, if it’s not too hot, there's always a loop of Harold Reid reserve for that 3 km.

This amazing area of Sydney will astound you. There is so much variety on this walk.
We start on a management trail then find our way on well used bike trails, which are quite muddy when wet as the ground is White Clay!
After a short period, we are walking on big rock platforms. There are many different paths so stay close to your trainer!
On the way home we will stop via Pond for our snack and then if you have the energy, I’d love to take you to an amazing lookout.

DAY HIKE-Waratah to Porters Pass Day HIke, Blue Mountain
Saturday 19th September 8 am
HIKEFit Coach: Sonia
We have chosen 2 unique hikes for this Spring Day - both in Blackheath
Our 1st Hike , is no so much about the hiking but about the destination. This walk is primarily along a firetrail , however , this hike has been chosen to be done in spring, as you will encounter the largest number of waratahs in one hike, I counted over 400 waratah last year and that was at the end of the season .
But even better, once you get to the end - another WOW factor happens. Magnificent views of Hanging Rock and the Grose Wilderness. This is an easy 10km walk. We visit Baltzer Lookout first, then we head to Hanging Rock.
Following this hike we will head into Blackheath for a picnic lunch, supplied by Sterling Fitness
Hike 2 is a new one for Sterling Fitness, exploring porters pass
This is an enjoyable and fulfilling circuit within Porter's Pass Recreational Reserve. Although short, this trail presents plenty of challenges. The terrain has a lot of variety, from waterfalls to steep rocky areas, rainforests and bush, plus stunning valley views. Highlights of the trail include Lambert's Lookout (views), Centennial Glen, and Fort Rock.

Hikecoach : Nicola
Who would believe there is a fabulous bush walk in Chatswood? That's why it is called Chatswood Charms, a delightful hike in the bushy area of Chatswood West. We find creeks, waterfalls, fabulous birdlife and lots of steps. It is easy to take a wrong turn.
I hear many stories of people losing their way, so ensure you keep up with the leader, or you will need to get an Uber back to the car!
