Middle Cove Mangroves, Middle Cove

Today's HIKEFit program explores parts of Castle Cove… Although it feels like a flat walk, there are some good ups and downs. You can complete 8 km or the full 11 km and get around 400m in elevation. We will start at the steps heading into Scotts Creek. After passing the creek, we find a management for about 500 metres. Then we are back into the bush heading to FigTree Cove via the North Arm walking track.

Killarney Hills, Killarney

We are doing the Iconic Killarney Hills. I hope you can make it. We will meet on Cook Street in Forestville. This is a long hike covering mountain bike tracks, and incorporating lots of steps and undulations. We get a great break on the water at the halfway mark; this hike is all within the Garigal National Park. Poles are recommended. The first part of this hike is just under 10KM, but there is always an extension if you are tempted.

Mt Banks Summit via One Trail Loop Hike

Morgan Eight, Belrose

You may not find the street number easily, it's about 950M from the Forest Way turnoff. Please look for fellow hikers' cars. We've been out on this trail several times now and it has everything, a management trail to warm up, some hills to raise the heart rate, a decent length to test your endurance, bike trails paths to entertain you and views to die for, and it all takes place in the Garigal National Park. In total around 10 KM hike. Allow around 3hours for the Hike and stretching.

Secret trail Hunt, Lindfield

We will warm up on a lovely meandering trail from Lindfield Oval down to a wider management trail where we set a fast pace. Today we will cross Barrie Creek and take a wandering trail before climbing to Barrie St. If the weather is fair, we will return to the creek by a foot pad so that we really get the flavour of the casuarina forest through which we are walking. The views from near the water are very pretty, so keep your camera ready. I recommend you wear long pants for this one.
