Hellooooo!

Antoine, Seamus, and I (Sudarshan) are running a nice little day hike along a stretch of the Great North Walk. Should be quite pretty, with some walking along the river and valley (pictured above!). This is a great chance for those wanting to get right into the bush without all the associated travel time.

The walk is 15km so expect to take about 5 hours, map here.

Not much experience necessary, all are welcome! The track is well marked and the pace won’t be too demanding. This should be quite a nice hike with public transport at both ends.

More info and track notes here (after Brown’s waterhole) and here.

Hope to see you then! Feel free to feel free to reach out to me at webadmin [at] unswoc.org.

What to bring:

  • Sturdy shoes!
  • Small-medium sized backpack to hold your belongings
  • About 2L of water **super important to have enough water!!**
    • This summer is shaping up to be very hot, you will be turned back without adequate water
  • Lunch and snacks for the day
  • A hat
  • Any personal medication you may need

When and Where:

  • Saturday 3rd October (end of week 3)
  • Meet at Hornsby Station at 10:30am.
  • We will be finished around 4pm at Epping Station.
  • Both stations have very frequent trains to the city

 

So, if you are keen for a hike, please tell us your hiking experience so far, and your favourite type of cloud (just so I know you’ve read all this information).

You must have your Facebook account linked in your website profile so that we can contact you.

This is a normal club hike, so the limit of attendees is 12. Get in early before signups are full 😆
