HIKEFit will meet at Berowra Waters Ferry.
As soon as we leave the ferry we are up up up, until we get to the view as in the photo. After that it's a series of up and down till Cowan Station. At that point we hop on the train and head back to Berowra where we need to take another street walk to our cars. (We can organise Car pooling!)

Are you up to it? It's one of our hardest walks on the program. We will gain about 600m in climbing elevation. If you are in training for Nepal or The Alps, this will be an excellent training hike.

There are several options for different starting points / exit points . Please talk to me about these as we would need to organise special carpooling

If you have not hiked with us before, please make contact with Sonia so we can discuss your hiking background.

Most of today's hike is on a management trail, but there are plenty of hills to keep you entertained. This treasure of a hike has so many water ponds that you’ll need your camera ready.

Come and experience the harbour foreshore in beautiful bush that has survived what was once an industrial centre of the harbour as we traverse Waverton and Greenwich with some hilly challenges and a little rock walking to improve balance.

On today’s HIKE we will explore the Manly coastal walk, but form a new angle. We will start in Dobroyd Point and 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.

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.

HIKEFit will meet at the end of Bobbin Head Road, and walk into the National Park. If you have a national park pass please meet us inside by the Sphinx.

This is a 9 km hike, with plenty of hills, we traverse management trails, bush tracks and steps. There are plenty of inclines and declines to give you a big fitness workout. I call this a LEVEL 7 hike. This has plenty of steep climbs, poles are encouraged. Allow around 3 hours for the Hike and stretching.

On this hike we will gather some speed on management trails. Our biggest challenge comes when we take a secret steep trail down to the water and then back up to the Cook St Track.

This is a great descent and climb up and the rewards from seeing the views over Bantry Bay are truly worthwhile. We return by skinny trails to avoid using roads to return to the start.

Distance 7.5km, 2.5 hrs.

We meet at Sirius Cove Reserve, when we say steps, we mean steps, there are seven stair summits just in this area alone.

There are many options to get the heart racing. After a tough workout, we can head towards the zoo and take in the beautiful harbour views getting some distance in also.

Here we enter the Garigal National Park, our first destination is to walk through to this wonderful waterfall which we can only do if it is dry.

We then head into Davidson park and loop around a high path and a low path. This is a magical walk, with some steep inclines; we will encounter boulders, caves, rock scenery etc and plenty of path variations.

HIKEFit will meet around 19 Kitchener St St Ives; and we 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.

Parsley Bay is a tiny pocket of coastal bushland deep in Vaucluse. We will use the bush and urban trails here to go through our paces while we savour some lovely harbour views and Eastern locations for a change.

Last time I was here I found Tawny Frogmouths sunbaking. What can we find this time? Bring your cossies to have a refreshing cool down after the session.

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.

Distance : 8 kms approx.

Meeting point : Car park Horler Avenue Vaucluse

Hornsby Steps completes the hardest part of the Thornleigh to Hornsby section on the GNW. Starting from Hornsby, we head down 350 steps to a management trail which leads us to some spectacular bush walking.

The scenery is lovely and the hike is challenging, including lots of good climbs to keep the heart rate up.

It’s an out and back, approximately 10km, Level 10.

Allow around 3 hours for the hike and stretching.

This will be an out and back hike totalling close to 8km.
Most of this hike is flat, but I am sure your hike coach can find some challenges for you.

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.
