Hike: Berowra to Mt Kuring-gai

Yo!

The Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park is a great place for a hike. We will walk from Berowra station to Cowan Creek and then along the creek until making our way up to Mt Ku-ring-gai station. About 10 km in all with 600 m of elevation gain (5-6 hours).

Details!

Meeting time/place: I will be leaving on the 7:45 am train from Central (Platform 8) to get to Berowra station at 8:31. I am taking the train back home from Mt Ku-ring-gai station.

Gear to bring:

Backpack:        To carry all the stuff outlined below

Rain Jacket!:                     It’s going to be rainy most of the day.
Comfortable hiking shoes:        Nothing fancy. Just something that can get wet/dirty, won’t give you blisters, and wont fall apart
Hiking clothes:        Long pants and long sleeves are recommended to protect from the bush.
Additional clothes:        Spare warm clothes so you don’t get cold
Lunch and snacks:        You know, Food! (Chocolate, nuts, sandwiches, fruit, whatever you like…)
2 L Water:        Yes, bring at least 2 L. There is not likely any water on our route
Hat/sunblock:        Australia gives you cancer
Headlamp/torch:        Shouldn’t need it, but carry one anyway
Your strong legs:        10 km hike with some steep bits. Are you fit enough?

If you have any questions or need some gear let me know via email or find me on facebook.

Cheers,

Garrett
