Magical Valley, Forestville
Saturday 8th August 7am

HIKEFit Coach: Nicola

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.

Warrimoo Track, St Ives Chase
Sunday 9th August 7am

Hike Coach : Mark

HIKEFit will meet at the car park at the beginning of the national park, at the very end of Warrimoo Ave, St Ives Chase. We will hike along this trail for several KM until we come to a steep descend that takes us to lookout over Cowan Creek.

We use our balance skills and head down to the creek for our half way break. Of course, to get back to the cars, we need to traverse back up the bush trail and the steep management trail. This is a great trail to test our speed on the flat and our hearts on the hills.

Squatters Cottages, Clontarf

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.

Harbour Wonders, Lavender Bay
Monday 17th August 7am

Hike Coach : Sonia

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.
