Lane Cove River Hike to Best Sunday Roast in Sydney!!!

It’s the perfect Sydney Sunday Hike! A river walk. Bush hike. It’s pretty flat and plenty beautiful. The stone cottages / architecture in Hunters Hill. And a pub in Time Out Sydney’s Best Sunday Roasts of 2026 Edition!!! (Please note, they only do 30 Sunday Roasts - I just placed a phone call where we can secure as many as we like as a group - but you must inform me by Thursday 3pm [Chef orders on Friday] if you would like a Sunday Roast or not).

THE HIKE.
Less words about this one… The first 7kms-ish is a lovely trail hike along Lane Cove River, and the final 3kms is a gorgeous neighbourhood walk through Hunters Hill and Woolwich (two leafy, wealthy communities). The hike is pretty flat, so we’ll move with decent pace to work off Saturday evening’s calories.

We meet at Lane Cove North (Epping Rd opp Mowbray Rd - 288 or 290 bus drops right there) Bus Stop at 930am!

FIRST... a new rule as we've grown to 6,000 hikers. Team, I'm spending about 1.5hrs a week chasing people down to join the whatsapp group for each hike. New hikers. Regular hikers. I'm very well over it. You must join the whatsapp group if you want to come on hikes - or? Well, you miss out. It's easy: a) Hit the "Attend" button on MeetUp, then b) Come back here, and CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE WHATSAPP GROUP. Thanks! :)

THE SUNDAY ROAST.
Woolwich Pier Hotel is pretty much the perfect pub… with its inner-west charm & history, fireplace, beer garden, leather booths (oh yes, leather), live music, amazing food, and proximity to Sydney Harbour / ferry wharf. All that it’s missing is our “We Hike… to the Bar” group charm. This joint has “Succulent Sunday Session” written all over from the moment your tired legs and ass hit the pub seat. Reservation made – my credit card is down, so I expect 100% participation if you RSVP “Yes”.

THE DETAILS.
WHATSAPP. You’re not 100% confirmed until you’re in the whatsapp group. Join it 'cause we love it, we use it! Click on the link (above) – if not, sadly you’ll be removed from the event on MeetUP.
Cancels / No shows. Treat your RSVP like a restaurant reservation. No show / cancel on the day? That restaurant is my hiking group – you won’t be welcomed in the future. Respect and manners matter as I put my credit card down for your reservation. Double booked with another group? Come on… be kind.
Gratuity. $10 PayID or Cash.
Safety. Let’s chat, let’s have some laughs… but let’s be safe.

Guests. Bring mates, dates, co-workers.
Good energy, smiles, and laughs… Bring ‘em all! You’re joining the most fun hiking group in Sydney.
