Squatters Cottages, Clontarf
Saturday 26th October 7am

On today’s HIKE we will explore the Manly coastal walk, but form a new 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 ability, we may visit the Grotto Lighthouse and find Washway beach and cliffs.

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!
