Chatswood Charms, Chatswood
Sunday 11th October 7.30am
Hike Coach : Sonia
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!

Killarney Secrets, Killarney
Monday 12th October 7am
Hike Coach : Nicola
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

Chasing Waterfalls, Mt Kuring-Gai
Saturday 24th October 7am
HIKECOACH : Sonia
This is a brand new hike added to the program, along a stunning stretch of the Berowra Valley.
As we start and end at different points, we will need to do some car shuffling at the beginning.
We will leave several cars at Harwood Ave, Mt Kuringgai for our return. However, the hike starts at Berowra Train station at 7am.
We start with a nice 200m descent to the Cowan Creek. It’s a switch back decline, so it’s easy to manage. We stay on the water’s edge for most of the hike, pass many waterfalls, some old ruins and beautiful water views. As we approach the 8km mark there are two trails to lead up home. The normal marked route, or a little further up we find a pipeline trail, only found by a few.
It’s here we scramble all the way to the top. This is the Steep 200 m climb back up to the top. Once we reach the top, we cool down with a 1km management trail flat walk back to the car.
It’s a round trip, approx. 11km, Level 12
