THE PONDS WALK.

Last time I attempted this walk we got washed away and didn't finish, not even for lunch. Think I'd appreciate a bit of rain this time, not much just enough to cool us down.

Feeling more alive after our latte' it's time to proceed with a pleasant stroll along Parramatta River walkway as we cross over and under several bridges on our way to Rydalmere for the start of the Ponds Walk.

And what a beautiful walk it is, creek crossings, quaint little footbridges and areas of fern covered tracks give it an almost rainforest feel.
Being in the heart of suburbia it's hard to imagine such a spectacular place to enjoy a commute with nature, absolutely beautiful.

We should be at Vikings Sports Club at Dundas Valley In time for lunch before we vanish into a rainforest area on our way to Carlingford.

Another walk that is suitable for newcomers who want to test themselves with a longer distance (about 10 kms ) but without the effort of climbing hills.

Done this walk on numerous occasions and still can't wait to return. Come and join me, you won't be disappointed. Ring me on 0451483009 in case I haven't persuaded you how good the walk is.

We will finish at Carlingford in time to indulge in a beverage or two at the Bowling Club. Light Rail or bus back to Parramatta after.

I'll search for some pics from a previous visit to give you some idea of what to expect besides me.

GRATURITY: There will be a $5 donation for anyone that hasn't paid the now defunct annual Meet-up fees.

P.S. I'll be at the Bay Vista from around 9:10 enjoying whats on offer.
