Secret trail Hunt, Lindfield
Monday 1st June 7am
HIKEFit Coach: Nicola
We will warm up on a lovely meandering trail from Lindfield Oval down to a wider management trail where we set a fast pace. Today we will cross Barrie Creek and take a wandering trail before climbing to Barrie St.
If the weather is fair, we will return to the creek by a foot pad so that we really get the flavour of the casuarina forest through which we are walking. The views from near the water are very pretty, so keep your camera ready. I recommend you wear long pants for this one.
