GO NORTH!!!

EPPING BECKONS

Steve and I have a leave pass, so Marg will be leader of the pack this week, and she has lined up a great walk.

This is a loop walk of around 8.4km that starts and finishes at Epping Station where there is a good café nearby for coffee afterwards.

A great way to explore the Lane Cove Valley from Epping Station, this walk loops around North Epping, returning to the station. There are many sights to be seen along this walk, with Whale Rock and Brown's Waterhole being a couple of highlights. The walk explores Devlins Creek, upper Lane Cove River and Terry's Creek. 

Meet on the corner of Langston Place, Pembroke St and Oxford St, Epping. We will have coffee at Nero's in Oxford Street after the walk.

Please let Marg know if you are coming, send me a text and I will forward Marg's number if you don't have it.

Enjoy, and thanks Marg.

WENDY'S WONDERLAND

LOWER NORTH SHORE - NOT QUITE THE SAME AS BEFORE

We have been curious about Wendy Whiteley's garden in Lavender Bay for some time, so  decided to incorporate it into a walk which we did last July.This walk may be familiar, but with a twist - we will cut out parts of Kirribilli, sticking to the Jeffrey St Wharf area, and add in Wendy's garden, not exactly according to the map (what's new?).

 All up about 7 - 8 kms. Meet and park on the street near the corner of Woolcott Street and Balls Head Road,Waverton at 8am.

The forecast for Sunday is fine, and we should all need a good walk after the nasty predictions for Friday.

BACK TO CASTLE COVE

Last Sunday we discussed the prospect of a night walk to take in 'Vivid Sydney'. How does Friday night June 7th sound? If there are enough takers we will plot a route, with more details to follow, otherwise we can discuss alternative dates on Sunday morning. I also propose that if the weather is bad for a street walk that night, we adjourn to a pub or Chinatown for a meal. More on Sunday.

19th May will find us gathered at the St Aloysius playing fields in Tyneside Road Willoughby, near Willoughby Park. Plenty of on street parking, not too far from Dose Espresso for coffee after......seems to fit the bill. Oh, yes, the walk - a mixed walk in residential streets, bush and a few hills to keep us honest, hope you can come.

MUM'S THE WORD

Who the heck is........HAROLD REID?

As a Mothers Day special we will take a hike around Harold Reid Reserve, Castle Cove. 

This is a very pretty and interesting bush walk, a bit shorter than our usual walks but if we want to walk for coffee afterwards that will add another 1km. Those with lunch dates will be finished in plenty of time to get home and prepare, others might linger over coffee at Dose Espresso at Willoughby (near Harris Farm Market on High Street).

Meet at 8am at the end of Sugarloaf  Crescent, Castle Cove, plenty of on street parking, the pathway is cleverly disguised - this is one of those lovely 'hidden treasures' in our midst.

ARTISTS COLONY, SCOTLAND THE BRAVE.........AND LOTS MORE

This week we plan a varied experience, looking at Scottish connections, inspecting the artists colony known as Curlew Camp, and taking in some magnificent views over our glorious harbour...........oh, and there is the Bridge of course.

Start from the car park at Gunners Barracks, Suakin Drive, Georges Heights at 8am. The forecast is promising so it should be a lovely crisp autumn morning.

 

Cheers,
Bernadette.
