BLACKWATTLE BAY

URBANITES UNITE

No bush tracks this week, we are avoiding any slippery tracks so will revisit Blackwattle Bay and Pyrmont.

Park in Refinery Drive or Mount Street Walk Pyrmont, bring some change for the meters, and we will waltz our way around the bay.The Mardi Gras will be over but if you like to add some flair to your regular walking attire....feel free.

I DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEASIDE.........

The Gap to North Bondi.

Firstly apologies for the late post........blame Jimmy Barnes last night.

We begin our 8km walk this Sunday from Gap Road at Watsons Bay. Turn right from Military Road into Gap Road, park there and meet on the corner of Military and Gap Roads at 8am.

This will be a beautiful walk and you will discover about radio astronomy in Sydney!

Bring your money or bus pass with you as after we walk to North Bondi we will catch a bus back to Watsons Bay.

Last weeks walk was very interesting and fun. We might consider another visit to St Thomas Rest park as we didn't have a chance to explore because by the end of our walk it had started to rain.
Cheers,

2014 - LET'S BEGIN

CREMORNE AND CAMMERAY WITH A LITTLE HISTORY THROWN IN

Is it too late to wish everyone a Happy New Year? 

Steve and I are keen to get back into our Sunday morning walks and we have a few 'up our sleeves' so to speak, but as the weather might be wet on the weekend we thought this would be a good first outing, not too long...not too short, and very interesting.

Meet and park in West Street, Cammeray near Rosalind Street (close to Amherst) near St Thomas Rest Park. This walk will be about 6 km and has some variety, a few hills, a few dales, some views and a fascinating look at some early history of North Sydney to finish. 

We will have coffee either at the end of the walk in Cammeray or on the way in Miller or West Street.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and catching up on the 'goings on' over the holidays.

See you at 8am on Sunday.

FAIRYLAND

LANE COVE FAIRYLAND

To end 2013 we thought a trip to Fairyland was appropriate. This is a shaded walk of approx. 6km through some bush tracks. There is some interesting history on this walk, we pass the Bogle Chandler 'murder' site, see an old Sydney 'playground' and imagine how life was when only an occasional boat ventured up the River.

Park in the Northern Suburbs Athletics Field in Mowbray Road, close to the intersection with Epping Highway.

Please let me know if you are coming......here's the link:

For those we don't see on the weekend, have a Merry Christmas and a healthy 2014. We will resume our Sunday walks in February, meantime keep on wearing out those soles.

PENULTIMATE WALK FOR 2013

NORTHBRIDGE WANDERINGS

On Sunday we thought we would revisit Northbridge, this is the walk we planned prior to our brunch a few weeks back. 7kms with some shade as we walk along the track beside the golf course and overlook the water. Parts are a little steep, but that should not worry us. Park and start at our place.

Please let me know if you intend coming as several people are away and others have functions on Sunday, we do like a quorum!

Next Sunday, 15th Dec., will be our last scheduled walk for the year, maybe let me know in advance if you can't make it, everybody is very busy so we might skip it depending on numbers.

DECEMBER ALREADY!

This week we have some bush tracks, steps and some street walking starting from  Wollstonecraft Station, park in Shirley Road and meet on the corner near the station. 


This maps out about 7.5kms but has some steep parts to challenge us, some parts of the track were a bit wet so walking boots would be good.


Here are some tempters:

CHISWICK - THE SUBURB, NOT THE RESTAURANT

NOT QUITE IN THE CHOOK YARD..................

This Sunday we start our walk on the corner of Kokoda St and Blackwall Point Road, Chiswick. Park the car in Kokoda St, coffee afterwards in Amoretti"s cafe in Bechert Road (bet you've never been to Bechert Rd!!!)

This is a picturesque walk,(only about 7kms); it takes in some familiar territory for those of us whose sons rowed for High. We visit the beautiful old mansion built by the Renwick family, the old animal quarantine station in Abbotsford and we see the Searle memorial, an interesting post sticking up in the middle of the waterway.

Usual start time of 8am, let me know either by SMS or a comment here if you are coming - the weather forecast is good.

Till Sunday.........
