SUMMARY:Overnight hike - Great North Walk - Berowra to Brooklyn
DESCRIPTION:Happy Easter Outdoor Lovers\,  \nOn the weekend of 22-23 April
 \, Chris and Tristan will be leading a two-day hike through one of the bes
 t sections of the Great North Walk. This section begins at Berowra Train S
 tation in Sydney and finishes at Brooklyn Train Station on the Hawkesbury 
 river the next day. The walk is great for first-time multi-day bushwalkers
 \, but a good level of fitness is required. There are some sections with s
 teep climbs up and down which are challenging when carrying your own pack.
 \n\nThe plan is to meet at Berowra Train Station at 9.30am on Saturday (or
  catching public transport together from UNSW)\, and then walk to a Ridge 
 Top Campsite\, via Berowra Waters. On Day 2\, we will head into Kuringai N
 ational Park and walk towards Brooklyn\, where we will finish the day at t
 he famous pub\, The Angler’s Rest. We will then get the train back from 
 here.\n\nThis walk is being proposed in part as a trial for the the new no
 t-for-profit hiking charity called Emu Trekkers (www.emutrekkers.org). So 
 you will get lots of information along the way and can give us some feedba
 ck afterwards. \nWhere and when to meet?\nBerowra train station at 9.30am
